Manufacturing Process
Explore the precision process behind our folding wagon production
Step 1 - Product Design
Product design defines the folding wagon’s structure, dimensions, load capacity, and functionality. It ensures the frame, fabric, wheels, and accessories fit together smoothly. Well-designed wagons enhance user experience, reduce production issues, and allow flexible customization based on market demands and outdoor application scenarios.
Step 2 - Material Incoming
This step involves receiving all core materials including oxford fabric, mesh, and metal tubes. Proper handling ensures materials arrive without damage or deformation. Clear classification and labeling at this stage support efficient flow into inspection and production lines, minimizing production delays and reducing risk of material mix-up.
Step 3 - Material Inspection
Materials are checked for quality and consistency. Fabrics undergo light transmittance and thickness tests, while metal tubes are measured for diameter, wall thickness, and corrosion resistance via salt spray testing. This ensures only qualified materials enter production, guaranteeing product durability and customer satisfaction.
Step 4 - Plastic Injection
Plastic components such as handles, joints, and wheel hubs are injection-molded. Custom molds are used for specific designs, and color can be tailored to client branding. This step is critical for precision fit, strength, and aesthetic consistency across the final product.
Step 5 - Fabric Cutting
Based on digital templates, fabric panels are accurately cut to size. Proper cutting ensures consistent dimensions for later sewing, avoiding misalignment and assembly issues. Precision at this step directly impacts the product's appearance, strength, and structural integration with the metal frame.
Step 6 - Silk-Screen Printing
If requested by the client, logos or graphic designs are printed onto fabric panels using silk-screen techniques. This optional step boosts brand visibility and adds a personalized touch. If not required, the panels proceed directly to sewing, streamlining the workflow.
Step 7 - Fabric Sewing
Panels are sewn into the final wagon cover with reinforced stitching at stress points. Components like side pockets, mesh panels, and foam layers are integrated. After sewing, each cover undergoes a full inspection to ensure structural integrity and finish quality before moving to assembly.
Step 8 - Metal Tube Cutting
Metal tubes are precisely cut using CNC-controlled equipment. Accuracy in length and angle is essential for consistent assembly, folding performance, and weight-bearing capacity. High cutting precision reduces material waste and ensures that subsequent bending and welding steps proceed without issues.
Step 9 - Metal Tube Bending
Each metal tube is bent according to design specifications using custom-made jigs. Operators manually control the bending process to ensure angles and curves meet structural needs. Bending accuracy affects folding smoothness and overall frame alignment.
Step10 - Metal Stress Relieving
After cutting and bending, metal tubes undergo a stress-relief process to eliminate internal tension. This prevents deformation over time and improves long-term structural stability, especially under heavy loads or repeated folding and unfolding cycles.
Step 11 - Punching
Punching creates holes for rivets, fasteners, and joint connections. Custom jigs are used to position holes precisely for later alignment. Accuracy in this step ensures smooth assembly and consistent mechanical strength at all connection points.
Step 12 - Metal Welding
Welding joins key frame parts that require permanent connections, such as wheel supports and handle mounts. Depending on volume and design, either manual or robotic welding is used. Quality welding improves load capacity and overall safety of the wagon structure.
Step 13 - Powder Spraying
The metal frame is sprayed with powder coating in customer-specified colors. This provides a smooth finish, rust resistance, and improved aesthetics. Powder coating also enhances weather resistance, making the wagon suitable for outdoor environments over long periods.
Step 14 - Riveting
Rivets are used to fix joints, hinges, and other non-welded connections. Precision riveting ensures secure and durable assembly, while still allowing required parts to rotate or fold. This step directly affects ease of use and product longevity.
Step 15 - Assembling
All components—including the frame, wheels, fabric, handles, and accessories—are assembled into the complete folding wagon. This step requires careful alignment and quality checks at each stage. Functional testing is performed before final approval.
Step 16 - Product Testing
Each finished wagon undergoes tests such as pull force, weight capacity, wheel rotation, and stability. Only products that pass these tests move on to packaging. This guarantees safety, performance, and compliance with international standards.
Step 17 - Packaging
Folding wagons are folded and packed per client requirements, using branded boxes, protective covers, or custom kits. Packaging must protect the product during shipping while optimizing volume to reduce freight costs. Labeling and barcoding are also done here.
Step 18 - Warehousing
Final products are moved into the warehouse for inventory management and shipping preparation. Organized storage ensures efficient loading and order fulfillment. Warehousing also includes final QA sampling and handling of special packing or shipment instructions.
