The Right Fasteners for Every Situation

If you are involved in the Truck, Trailer, and Coach Building industry, you understand the importance of considering factors such as the environment, quality, reliability, uptime, safety, and punctuality. To meet the needs of this industry, we operate based on a stock principle, offering a range of standard fasteners. If a standard fastener does not meet your requirements, we can develop a custom solution and collaborate with our production partners. Additionally, we provide relevant C-parts and MRO parts, including tools, safety equipment, electronics, and hydraulic and pneumatic components.

Your TCO down

Effective inventory management is crucial in production, as waste must be minimised. Excess inventory can reduce profitability, while insufficient stock can cause production delays. Fabory offers smart logistics solutions for managing maintenance, repair, and production stock, helping you optimise inventory management and lower your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This approach enhances flexibility and cost control within your organisation.

Most ordered fasteners in Truck, Trailer & Coach Building

Which fasteners are most commonly found on our customers' order lists in this industry? The six fasteners listed below are the most frequent. They are primarily made of carbon steel and are treated with corrosion protection methods such as electrolytic galvanising and zinc flake coating.

Clamping load

Clamping Load Distribution with Flange Bolts and Flange Nuts

Distributing the clamping load effectively without using additional washers can be done by utilising strong fasteners like flange bolts and flange nuts, which are manufactured as a single piece. The non-serrated rim of these fasteners is robust enough for most applications. At the same time, the toothed edge is ideal for industrial settings that experience heavier loads, as it is self-locking and more resistant to vibrations.

By eliminating the need for washers, flange bolts and nuts can be tightened more quickly and efficiently than many other bolts. This offers several advantages, including:

  • Reduced labour costs
  • Increased productivity
  • Easier installation in hard-to-reach or narrow spaces
  • More efficient management

Our range of flange fasteners is made from different grades of carbon steel, including screws in classes 8.8 and 10.9, and nuts in classes 8 and 10, all with a surface treatment of galvanised zinc flakes. Stainless steel screws and nuts are also available in A2 and A4 classes.

Fasteners with zinc flake coating

Corrosion protection is a much-discussed topic in the Truck, Trailer & Coachbuilding industry. Not surprisingly, because functional parts are exposed to high loads, the parts must also be protected against external influences and corrosion. Therefore, different coatings are available. The most common coating is zinc flake, a coating consisting of zinc and aluminium flakes connected by an inorganic matrix. The need for fasteners with a zinc flake surface coating was increasing, and because production in the Truck, Trailer & Coachbuilding industry must never stagnate, we supply 2,000 articles in zinc flake from stock.

The benefits of zinc flake at a glance:

  • High corrosion resistance
  • Thin layer
  • Also suitable for high tensile steel
  • No hydrogen embrittlement
  • Some degree of electrical conductivity
  • Suitable for all shapes and sizes
  • Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) free

Hundreds of zinc flake fasteners disappear in every trailer: in the chassis, the floor frame, the superstructure and various trailer components.

Zink flake coating

Case Study: Knapen Trailers

Knapen Trailers from Deurne in Brabant uses a unique variation of zinc flake fasteners from Fabory. Employees reach for thousands of Fabory articles with a zinc flake treatment every week on the shop floor of the producer of moving floor trailers. Johan van Hommelen, a strategic purchaser at Knapen Trailers, explains that the corrosion resistance of the fasteners is a crucial factor for the company. “Our trailers, and therefore also the fastening materials used, are exposed to wind and weather year after year. The influence of the weather on the materials is significant.

Hundreds of zinc flake fasteners disappear in every trailer: the chassis, the floor frame, the superstructure and various trailer components. The stock management of the zinc flake fasteners remains stable thanks to an RFID solution. “The complete ordering process, including that of the zinc flake fasteners, is taken care of”.

Blind Riveting

Blind riveting is a widely used fastening technique in truck, trailer, and coach building. This method is employed in nearly every bus, truck, and trailer, including components such as the cab, seats, chassis, roof rails, safety structures, floor systems, and more.

Depending on the specific application, a standard blind rivet or a blind rivet nut may be suitable. Fabory offers structural blind rivets and lockbolts for critical applications within this industry.

Hose Clamps

Hose clamps are essential throughout the Truck, Trailer, and Coachbuilding industry. We offer a variety of hose clamps suitable for different applications, including:

  • Air intake and induction systems
  • Cooling systems
  • Exhaust systems
  • Turbocharger installations
  • Fuel and oil systems

Our selection includes carbon steel, stainless steel alloys, worm gear clamps, ear clamps, two-piece clamps, spring clamps, and heavy-duty options. No matter the specific requirement, we have the proper clamp (such as ABA, Norma, or MaxxFast) for every hose.
