Dennis mowers, part of the Howardson group, have worked closely with MDJ over the past 15 years. When designing their new range of electric mowers, they needed a chassis that would not only be structurally rigid, easy to assemble and maintain, but would give the range a completely new look.
The solution, a tubular design, ticked all the boxes but would prove challenging to manufacture. MDJ invested in the latest technology, an all-electric 10 axis tube bending machine from local supplier Langbow.
After preliminary bend tests and prototyping it became clear that this investment exceeded the challenge in hand, producing consistent tube forms time after time.
Jason Williams, head of engineering at the Howardson Group, commented ‘the consistency of the tube work and overall construction of the chassis is remarkable. This has allowed us to build a machine that produces excellent results all over the world’
