TIG Welded Aluminium Frame

A TIG Weld, being the most effective and durable weld, ensures that frames joined using this method are less likely to develop any structural issues.
Therefore, all caravans built by Urban Caravans are built using the best available method for joining aluminium. This in turn guarantees that all of our caravans are long-lasting, durable and have a higher tolerance when facing challenging environments.
Tig Welded aluminium frames are also essential if you require rigidity and tolerance levels for offroading caravans. Although benefits from this type of weld translate to road-going caravans as well, the benefits are most pronounced when such a construction is used in the Urban Caravans built caravans such as the Tungsten Tuff, Tungsten X-Terrain Mk.2, Tungsten X-Treme Mk.2 and all other models built by Urban Caravans.

A Tig Weld avoids the use of rivets when constructing the Aluminium Frame. Rivets were the weak point of every aluminium frame before the use of Tig Welding was introduced.  By Tig Welding the entire aluminium frame, there is no need for any rivets or staples and the wear and tear (such as stress cracking to the surrounding Aluminium) is avoided. 

Lock Bolting is the process used in all caravans built by Urban Caravans for joining the TIG Welded panels together. Bolting the panels in this manner ensures that the rigidity and sturdiness provided by the TIG Welds is offset by the flexibility and movement offered by the Lock Bolts.
This flexibility is essential for building semi-offroad and off-road caravans. The stresses endured in these caravans are partially absorbed by this unique and innovative way of joining together different frame elements.
If you want your aluminium frame to last offroad, then you must give it flexibility through using Lock Bolts.
