HGVs, farm and construction equipment, expanded mesh has also been offering the same benefits of strength, robustness and long lasting performance.

Over the 118 year history of EMC, commercial vehicle manufacture has been one area that the company has been constantly servicing. This highly specialised market demands components that are extremely hard wearing, robust and durable and expanded metal mesh meets all of these criteria. The material has been specified for a number of applications, including gantries, steps and panels for lorries and it has earned a reputation for excellence as a filtration material. Expanded meshes can be pressed, formed, shaped and welded into components for straining, retention and filtration. Because of its unique formulation, which gives it incredible and unprecedented flexibility, significant cost savings can be achieved over conventional perforated or woven materials, with the ability to be formed into tubes and conical shapes from a range of metals.

Because of their functional role, commercial vehicle requirements have to withstand pressures and conditions in excess of normal vehicles and expanded metal mesh has a proven strength to weight ratio, due to the fact that the finished product has no breaks or welds and the expanding process hardens the base material.
