For equipment makers

You Design the Container. We Build Its Steel Structure.

Companies that make recycling containers, collection points and urban equipment usually design the product themselves and buy the welded steel structure from outside. The structure is the heavy, labour-intensive part: cut and bent sheet, tube frames, lifting points and hinge brackets, welded in a jig and then hot-dip galvanized so it lasts outdoors for decades.

That is the part we make. We laser cut and bend the sheet, weld the frames in fixtures, add vent and drain holes in the right places for the zinc bath and deliver the structures galvanized, powder coated or duplex coated, ready for your assembly line.

How a project runs

From Drawing to Galvanized Series

  1. Drawing review

    We check weld access, sheet thicknesses and where the zinc can flow in and out, and suggest changes that lower the cost.

  2. Quote by weight and process

    You get a clear price per structure and per batch, with jig and galvanizing included.

  3. Jig and first article

    A welding jig is built and the first structure is measured against your drawing before the series starts.

  4. Series production

    Cut, bent and welded in batches on the approved process, with the same jig every time.

  5. Galvanizing

    Hot-dip galvanized to EN ISO 1461, with coating thickness measured and recorded.

  6. Packing and transport

    Nested or flat-packed on pallets to keep freight per piece low, then trucked to your plant.

FAQ

Questions from Container and Urban Equipment Makers

What batch sizes do you take?

From pilot batches of 10 to 50 structures up to several thousand a year on call-off. The jig is built once and reused for every repeat order.

How long does a pilot batch take?

Typically 4 to 6 weeks from approved drawing to dispatch, including galvanizing. Repeat batches are faster.

Do you design vent and drain holes for galvanizing?

Yes. We check closed sections and overlaps on your drawing and propose hole positions before production, so the zinc coats inside and the part does not trap acid or air.

Can you deliver to France, Benelux and Germany?

Yes. Structures travel by road from İzmir, flat-packed or assembled. Goods from Türkiye move duty-free into the EU with an A.TR certificate.

Can parts be powder coated in our colour?

Yes. Duplex systems (galvanizing plus powder coating) in your RAL colour are possible for visible street furniture.

What do you need for a quote?

Drawings (PDF plus STEP or DXF), material, yearly volume and batch size, coating requirement and delivery address.

Sourcing galvanized structures

Recycling Container Structures Made in Türkiye

Makers of recycling containers and street furniture in France, the Benelux and the German-speaking countries often need a second source for the welded steel inside their products. The structures are heavy and repetitive, so they are mostly a question of welding hours and zinc, and that is where a fabricator in Türkiye can lower the price without lowering the quality.

Built for repeat orders

Every structure is welded in a jig that stays with your part number. Drawings, welding procedures and inspection records are kept per part, so a repeat order next year is built the same way as the first. Our welding is certified to EN 1090-2 EXC3 and ISO 3834-2, and each order comes with EN 10204 3.1 material certificates.

Designed for the zinc bath

Most problems with galvanized structures start on the drawing: closed tubes without vent holes, overlapping plates that trap acid, and thin sheet that distorts in the bath. Read our guide on designing for hot-dip galvanizing, or see how we take products from prototype to series.
