Perforated sheets and profiled metal grating for custom trailer equipment
Perforated sheet metal and profiled sheet metal gratings play a key role in trailer construction when it comes to safe entry, access, and loading. They are used as walkways, steps, or platforms, and their structure ensures slip resistance as well as the drainage of water and dirt. In practice, this means that even in wet, dirty, or icy conditions, they remain safe and easy to use.
Furthermore, sheet metal parts—and pressed sheet metal parts in particular—offer an alternative to traditional welded assemblies. Existing designs made from laser-bent parts or welded individual components can thus be converted into a mass-produced part manufactured using standard tooling, as is the case, for example, with a coupling bracket. In addition, Graepel also manufactures perforated sheet metal solutions such as keyhole plates for load securing. For you, this means fewer manufacturing steps, clearly defined component properties, and more cost-effective implementation in series production.

What makes Graepel a sought-after partner for vehicle and trailer manufacturing
Graepel works with you to analyze the specific application and derives the technical requirements from it. The key factor is how loads and usage affect the product in real-world operation. This results in a solution that performs reliably in use and can be manufactured cost-effectively at the same time. Design and manufacturing processes are coordinated so that components are produced reliably and consistently.
As a development partner, Graepel accompanies you from the initial idea through to series production. In practice, this means that development, tooling, production, and surface treatment are closely integrated. This ensures that ready-to-assemble modules are produced on schedule and with consistent quality. For you, this means solutions made from perforated sheet metal and sheet metal parts that are durable and prove their worth in daily use.
