Support equipment
Only one driver finishes first. A good support team — and good support equipment — can make all the difference in getting the win. Common support equipment projects include cooldown units, crash and generator carts, command and pit boxes, and tire and gas carts.
Welder/generators and Multimatic multiprocess welders combine to make a complete support solution.
Here are tips that apply to common support equipment projects:
- Typical materials: mild steel frames and 3003, 5052 or 6061 aluminum for subassemblies
- Recommended welding process: MIG or AC TIG
- MIG filler metal: .030-inch to .035-inch ER70S-6 for mild steel
- TIG filler metals: 4043, 4943 or 5356 for aluminum
