Zinc Plating

Shelby Industries is a competitive, diverse company that offers trailering, lifting, leveling, and towing products to a variety of industries and to clients all over the world. Our in-house capabilities are vast, and even if we can't do something, we can outsource it for you to someone who can. But all our products are manufactured right here in the USA, with our trademark highest quality and attention to detail.

Shelby specializes in the stamping, forging and assembly of metal, and that includes the complete process from start to finish. So of course, we have in-house zinc plating to give your metal that all-important shiny and professional zinc finish. We can plate anything from small custom volume jobs to large scale production runs. This is because we have a fully automated zinc plating line that is ideal for coating large or small parts. We have a special clear, alkaline zinc finish that offers an additional Supersealer bath to give your part hours of extra performance under the harshest conditions.

We have an exceptional washing and cleaning system complete with large scale de-greaser, which removes tough oils and debris while also etching the metal with microscopic pores and roughness. This greatly enhances the bond between the zinc and the metal surface. All our zinc plated parts are treated to an extra clear chromate top coat and a silicate sealant for the final application to lock everything in tightly and provide additional corrosion protection. And with our exceptional control over the entire process, right down to the exact temperature and the current voltage, we can apply variable thickness of zinc to meet your exact needs.

And after your plating cycle is done, we salt spray every single part to test for defects and make sure the zinc has a super strong bond and seal. You can be confident that each and every part will perform flawlessly under the harshest conditions when you utilize our zinc plating services.

Don't forget to contact us about our other protective coatings we can offer. These include Nickel plating, Black Oxide, Chrome plating and Hot Dip Galvanizing, among others!
