Overview

Material handling equipment — forklifts, cranes, conveyors, racking and automated storage — relies on strong welded structures, precisely machined drive parts and durable wear components.

Türkiye has a broad base of welding, fabrication, machining and sheet-metal suppliers serving forklift, crane, conveyor and warehouse-system manufacturers.

On Metraxio you describe the part, attach drawings and state material, finish and quantity. The platform structures the requirement and shows which facilities are a technical fit.

Material handling equipment combines welded structures with machined wear and motion parts, and buyers often need both from a single supply chain. Stating load ratings, welding requirements, coating systems and annual quantities helps match the work to fabricators and machine shops that can deliver complete assemblies.

Typical parts & components

  • Welded mast, chassis and crane structures
  • Conveyor frames, rollers and drums
  • Wheels, hubs and bearing housings
  • Gears, shafts and drive components
  • Racking uprights and beams
  • Hydraulic cylinder parts
  • Sheet-metal guards and covers

The processes, materials and requirements below are an editorial reference of what is typical for material handling programs — not a statement about facilities in the Metraxio network.

Typical materials & grades

Certifications & compliance

What buyers in this industry commonly ask suppliers for. Exact requirements depend on the program, customer and part.

Supplier certifications

  • ISO 9001 Typically required

    Baseline quality system.

  • ISO 3834 Common

    Welding quality system.

  • EN 1090 Sometimes requested

    For structural components.

Standards & regulations

  • CE Marking Common

    CE marking for complete machinery.

  • EN 10204 Type 3.1 Common

    Material certificate for load-bearing parts.

  • ISO 2768 Common

    General tolerances on drawings.

Quality & documentation

  • Welding to qualified procedures; ISO 3834 for load-bearing structures.
  • Material certificates for load-bearing parts.
  • Dimensional reports for machined drive parts.
  • Load testing where specified.
  • CE documentation for complete machines.

Typical tolerances & surfaces

  • Welded structures: tolerances per ISO 13920.
  • Shafts and bearing seats: H7/h6 fits.
  • Conveyor rollers: runout specified per drawing.
  • Racking: tolerances per the applicable racking standard.

Sourcing from Türkiye

Türkiye combines a deep contract-manufacturing base with short routes into Europe. Industrial goods move between Türkiye and the EU under the customs union, so buyers typically avoid EU import duties on qualifying parts.

  • Many European destinations can be reached by road within several days; actual transit depends on origin, destination, customs handling and cargo.
  • Common delivery terms are EXW, FCA and DAP; Metraxio keeps the agreed Incoterm attached to the quotation and order.
  • Long welded parts may need special transport; include dimensions and weights.

How Metraxio qualifies suppliers

Every request is checked against each facility's structured profile before any supplier is invited.

  • Hard criteria: the required process (e.g. welding or CNC machining), the specified material and grade, and certifications such as ISO 3834.
  • Missing data is not a rejection. If a facility profile does not yet state something, the result is "Needs More Information" rather than "Not Qualified".
  • No match yet? You can continue with Managed Sourcing and the Metraxio team runs supplier discovery for you.
  • Facility identities stay anonymous during the technical assessment.

Example project

How a typical request moves through Metraxio

500 conveyor drums — welded and machined — S355 — DAP.

  • The buyer uploads drawings for drive and return drums.
  • Metraxio structures the requirement: welding, CNC turning, balancing, S355 steel and DAP delivery.
  • The fit assessment shows which facilities are qualified, which need more information and which do not match.
  • The buyer invites qualified facilities to a Supplier RFQ, or hands the job to Managed Sourcing.

Frequently asked questions

Can suppliers produce long welded structures?

Yes, facilities with large welding bays and positioners handle long masts and crane girders.

Which finishes are common?

Powder coating and wet painting in brand colours; galvanising for outdoor equipment.

Are gears and drive parts possible?

Yes. Specify gear type, module and quality class so facilities are assessed accordingly.

Can I source complete conveyor modules?

Some suppliers weld, machine and assemble complete modules; list assembly in your requirement.

Are supplier names visible during the assessment?

No. Facilities are shown anonymously during the technical assessment. Identities are shared as the engagement progresses.
