Nelson Bros. & Strom is proud to have been awarded the Spokane Industries contract for machining the front RH & LH axle support, nicknamed the “shark” casting and mating trunnion cap casting for Hitachi Construction Truck Manufacturing Ltd. in Guelph, Ontario Canada. The first castings will be machined starting in February 2014 and will run at a volume of 7 RH & 7 LH shark casting assemblies per month for the rest of 2014. Some of these castings will be for Hitachi Construction Dump Trucks purchased by China to build 4,000 miles of roads in the country.
We are excited to be part of such a huge project!
