Your full service longboard truck manufacturer.
There are two common ways of making skateboard and longboard trucks: Die casting and gravity casting.
Both require two moulds with the shape of the preffered truck shape - a lower and an upper mould. The two moulds are placed on top of each other and fild with a aluminium metal mix which makes the trucks light, hard, and durable.
Gravity casting means that the metal is filled into the mould by letting gravity pull in the mix. In this process the metall is slowly dropping into the mould carefully filling each corner and preventing air bubbles from being created. While the process is very time consuming, the trucks are more durable then commonly die casted trucks. Die casting means that the metal mix is being pressed into the mould under high pressure. Die casting speeds up the manufacturing process and allows the metal to be squeezed into small corners that otherwise could not be reached.
Light trucks are often shaved down to the minimum of metal required. These trucks often come with very precise and thin edges and corners. These trucks can only be made by die casting.
We are one of the very few truck manufacturers world wide, that use a special technique of pushing in the gravity casted metal. This enables trucks to be made, with clean edges and small details, while not creating air bubbles. This makes our light trucks the lightest and the most durabel.
The trucks are then colored and printed on. The design is either applied by screen printing or by dipping the truck into a pool of liquid with a thin film of the preffered design on top. This enables a full truck print.
For our longboard axles we use 4140 steel. The hanger can be gravity or die caster by aluminum 356. Bushings are made of poly urethane. Our common hardnesses are 80A,85A,90A, 95A,99A. Choose from our bushing colors: white, black, red, green, blue
Kingpins and Washers can be made silver, black oxidized or copper colored.
If you prefer to have a colorful longboard truck, we offer powder coating of the baseplate and hanger.
This is the smoothest and most professional way, to color a longboard truck.
