SSAB And Al Shirawi Strengthen partnership
Al Shirawi Equipment Co – ATLAS LLC was appointed as Hardox In My Body member in 2016 with its Hardox applications in Tipper bodies and Tipper Trailers. Building upon this success, the company continued to excel in 2023 by joining the My Inner Strenx program through the utilization of Strenx performance steel in their trailer chassis. This program, exclusively designed for manufacturers deeply committed to producing top-tier products with Strenx performance steel. Remarkably, Al Shirawi Equipment Co – ATLAS LLC has achieved a milestone by becoming the first company in the Middle East to hold a dual brand program membership, encompassing both Hardox In My Body and My Inner Strenx – a testament to their outstanding commitment to superior quality and performance.
Al Shirawi has been constantly improving their trailers and truck body manufacturing to suit the rigorous demand of the industry. By incorporating Strenx high-strength structural steel into their superstructures, Al Shirawi achieved significant benefits including reduced trailer weight, increased payload capacity, and improved overall cost-effectiveness which has been acknowledged and accepted by their customers in the region. Strenx steel has a wide range strength (from 600 MPa to 1300 MPa) allowing for reduced weight of steel structures by up to 40%, making it ideal in truck body and trailer chassis manufacturing in terms of overall strength, quality and cost.
In tandem, Hardox abrasion-resistant steel and Strenx high-strength structural steel represent a game changing combination for building lightweight, durable, and highly efficient transportation solutions. This dynamic pairing has the potential to redefine the service lifespan, lower operational cost and enhance the overall efficiency of transport equipment within a wide array of industries.
