UAE’s Al Shirawi Equipment Co has become a member of My Inner Strenx programme of SSAB, the world-leading producer of high-strength steel.

 

By doing this, Al Shirawi, a manufacturer of transport equipment under the ATLAS brand including trailers, tippers, and truck-mounted bodies, will use Strenx performance steel in its trailer chassis. This programme is exclusively designed for manufacturers deeply committed to producing top-tier products with Strenx performance steel, a release said. 

 

Remarkably, Al Shirawi Equipment Co - ATLAS LLC has achieved a milestone by becoming the first company in the Middle East to hold a dual brand programme membership, encompassing both Hardox In My Body and My Inner Strenx of SSAB.

 

Hardox abrasion-resistant steel

Al Shirawi had partnered with SSAB to use Hardox abrasion-resistant steel for tipper bodies and trailers since 2003. Al Shirawi Equipment Co - ATLAS LLC was appointed as Hardox In My Body member in 2016 with its Hardox applications in Tipper bodies and Tipper Trailers. Building upon this success, the company continues to excel in 2023 by joining the My Inner Strenx programme. 

 

Al Shirawi has been constantly improving its trailers and truck body manufacturing to suit the rigorous demand of the industry. By incorporating Strenx high-strength structural steel into their superstructures, Al Shirawi achieved significant benefits including reduced trailer weight, increased payload capacity, and improved overall cost-effectiveness which has been acknowledged and accepted by their customers in the region. 

 

Strenx steel has a wide range strength (from 600 MPa to 1300 MPa) allowing for reduced weight of steel structures by up to 40%, making it ideal in truck body and trailer chassis manufacturing in terms of overall strength, quality and cost.

 

Game changing combination

In tandem, Hardox abrasion-resistant steel and Strenx high-strength structural steel represent a game changing combination for building lightweight, durable, and highly efficient transportation solutions. 

 

This dynamic pairing has the potential to redefine the service lifespan, lower operational cost and enhance the overall efficiency of transport equipment within a wide array of industries, the release added.--TradeArabia News Service
