Case study
Customizable trailer frame
Quality Lodestar LLC
Offering Creative Engineering and Manufacturing Solutions for the Design and Production of a Customized Trailer Frame
THE ISSUE
Ageing product designs were causing low production throughout, inventory buildup, an inability to promptly respond to changes in market demand for the product type, and extremely low margins for a medium-sized North American Trailer/Bulk Transport manufacturer that specialized in custom trailers for the oilfield industry.
THE SOLUTION OF LODESTAR
Designed, developed, and produced a common frame that could be customized to allow the customer to construct three distinct product kinds by bolting on components and sub-assemblies.
Without needing to keep finished inventory, the customer was able to swiftly alter a product type in response to market demand thanks to this novel assembly.

RESULTS
The customer was able to increase sales by more than 15% by concentrating production resources on building bolt-on systems thanks to Lodestar’s solution.
Their net margins will rise dramatically as a result of a 20% reduction in production costs and a noticeable improvement in product quality.
