At Megafab, we provide expert plastic welding services for the materials handling industry. Using both conventional plastic welding and extrusion welding, we deliver strong, durable joins for crates, pallets, storage boxes, and custom components. Whether you need precise modifications or heavy-duty structural welds, our solutions are engineered for long-term industrial performance.
Our Plastic Welding Capabilities
Our in-house welding expertise covers proven techniques, giving you flexibility across project types and component sizes.
Conventional Plastic Welding
Conventional plastic welding is the go-to method for precise, reliable joins in small to medium components, or where modifications and repairs are needed. By using techniques such as hot air welding, hot plate welding, and filler rods, we can adapt or restore crates, pallets, and storage boxes with a strong, neat finish.
-
Seam welding for crates, lids, and storage boxes
-
Edge repairs and reinforcements on existing units
-
Joining thinner sections or complex shapes
-
Controlled heat input to minimise distortion
-
Clean, uniform welds suitable for visible surfaces
This method is ideal for detailed work and modifications where accuracy and appearance matter.
Extrusion Welding
Extrusion welding is a high-strength process designed for joining thicker plastic materials and building larger components. By heating surfaces and applying molten filler material under pressure, this technique delivers structural integrity for oversized crates, pallets, and industrial storage solutions.
-
Strong welds in panels and sheets over 6 mm thick
-
Butt, T-joint, overlap, and groove joint capabilities
-
Structural welding for oversized boxes and pallets
-
Continuous filler application for consistent results
-
High-strength bonds suited to repeated heavy use
This method is the preferred choice for large-scale projects that demand strength, durability, and long service life.
