Our experts at WireTech know that wire forming plays a significant role in the outdoor power industry, where it is used to create various components and products for outdoor power equipment. Outdoor power equipment includes a wide range of devices used for landscaping, gardening, maintenance, and other outdoor tasks. Here are some ways wire forming is utilized in the outdoor power industry:

‍

1. Spring Manufacturing: Springs are essential components in outdoor power equipment, providing tension and support in various mechanisms. These springs might be used in lawn mowers, chainsaws, leaf blowers, and other equipment to control recoil, maintain tension, and facilitate movement.  (Note: WireTech Fabricators does not offer spring manufacturing services, but we do create other many of the other wire form components that are important to the outdoor power industry.)
2. Safety Features: Wire forming is often employed to create safety features in outdoor power equipment. For instance, wire guards and protective covers can be designed using wire forming techniques to prevent accidental contact with moving parts, blades, or other potentially dangerous components.
3. Handles and Grips: Many outdoor power tools require handles and grips for comfortable and safe usage. Wire forming can be used to create ergonomic handles and grips that provide users with a secure hold on the equipment, reducing the risk of accidents.
4. Cable and Hose Management: Outdoor power equipment often requires cables, wires, and hoses to function. Wire forms like clips, clamps, and brackets can be used to manage and secure these components, preventing tangling, damage, or interference with the equipment's operation.
5. Exhaust Systems: In equipment such as generators and lawn mowers, wire forming can be used to create exhaust brackets and supports, ensuring that exhaust pipes are positioned properly and safely.
6. Throttle and Control Mechanisms: Wire forming techniques can be applied to create various control mechanisms like throttles, levers, and switches, enabling users to regulate the speed and functionality of outdoor power equipment.
7. Air and Fuel Filters: Wire forming can also be used to create frames and supports for air and fuel filters. These components are crucial for maintaining the efficiency and performance of engines in outdoor power equipment.
8. Mounting Brackets: Wire-formed brackets are used to mount various components securely onto outdoor power equipment. These could include engine mounts, blade mounts, and other structural elements.
9. Frame and Chassis Components: Some larger outdoor power equipment, such as riding lawn mowers or utility vehicles, may use wire-formed components in their frame and chassis construction.
10. Snow Removal Equipment: Wire forming is often used in the production of snow blowers, plows, and other snow removal equipment. Components like chute controls, lift arms, and deflector mechanisms can be created using wire forming techniques.
