Precision Metal Solutions for Transportation Industries
At Crenshaw Die & Manufacturing, we serve the transportation sector—including automotive, defense mobility, commercial vehicles, rail, and specialty vehicle markets—by supplying high-precision stamped, formed, machined, and fabricated components. Whether for structural parts, brackets, panels, housings, or assemblies, we deliver consistent quality and reliability to meet demanding performance and safety standards.

Why Crenshaw for Transportation Clients

  • Robust materials & finishes suited to vibration, corrosion, and environmental exposure
  • Tight tolerances & consistency across thousands of parts
  • In-house tooling & control for fast iteration and design adjustments
  • Integrated manufacturing minimizing handoffs and improving part alignment
  • Traceability, testing, and quality systems built for regulated industries

We support transportation-related parts across the full manufacturing lifecycle:

  • Precision Metal Stamping: brackets, terminals, clips, structural elements
  • Deep Draw & Forming: shells, containers, housings
  • CNC Machining (Milling & Turning): shafts, connectors, precise interfaces
  • CNC Press Brakes & Bending: flanges, stiffeners, bracket bends
  • Water Jet & Blank Cutting: profiles, complex blanks, nesting optimization
  • Sheet Metal Fabrication: panels, enclosures, sheet assemblies
  • Secondary Operations & Assemblies: welding, tapping, hardware insertion, subassemblies

These capabilities allow us to produce integrated parts ready for direct use or assembly into transportation systems.

Examples of parts we can deliver for transportation applications:

  • Mounting brackets, gussets, hardware
  • Enclosures, housing shells, protective covers
  • Structural reinforcement panels, stiffeners
  • Deep-drawn receptacles or containers
  • Complex assemblies combining stamped and machined elements
  • Electrical connector plates, shield parts, EMI enclosure features

These parts may be used in automotive systems, commercial vehicles, drones, rail systems, EV platforms, and defense mobility systems.

  • Materials: aluminum alloys, stainless steels, mild steels, specialty alloys suited for transportation duty
  • Volumes: prototyping, pilot runs, production batches (hundreds to thousands)
  • Surface treatments & finishes: powder coat, plating, passivation, corrosion-resistant coatings
  • Design for durability: we consider fatigue, stress, corrosion, tolerancing for moving assemblies
  • In-process inspections, dimensional checks, metrology
  • Traceability and batch control (raw material to finished part)
  • Capability to support audits, supplier qualification, performance testing
  • Systems aligned with automotive or mobility sector requirements
