PRODUCT OF THE MONTH

 

TRD Manufacturing combines twenty-seven years of precision machining and engineering with an unmatched selection of options and modifications to deliver the highest quality customizable NFPA cylinders on the market. At TRD Manufacturing, your specials are their specialty. (click here to go directly to the TRD site)  
 
The TRD Difference

At TRD every component is precision machined in a manner to enhance the performance of our products. Cylinder tubes are lathe cut, not sawed. Heads and caps are 100% CNC machined to tight tolerances in jig bored fixtures. Piston and rod diameters and concentricity are held to within two thousandths of an inch, in CNC lathes. Truely “square” cylinders eliminate shimming. The result? Cylinders with consistent performance and a long life. Try the TRD difference.
