The Mercury
CKD Concept
Products are
designed around the CKD (completely
knocked down) or flat pack kit concept. This
involves manufacturing the sheet metal panels to
a very high level of accuracy, making judicious
use of snap fit joints and riveting, to arrive
at panels which go together easily and quickly
in a fool proof manner. The panels, when packed
as a kit , intermesh together to form a flat and
very compact package.
The compact CKD
packet enables Mercury to stuff a larger number
of products per shipping container. This
translates into very low unit freight cost, for
shipping around the globe to our worldwide
dealer network. This enables the product (as
well as the dealer) to retain a competitive edge
in the market place.
The use of corner
gussets in all our CKD products ensures that
the carcase retains its exceptionally high
rigidity when assembled. Mercury CKD
products surpass the rigidity of most other
welded products. This is exemplified by the
products exceeding ANSI/BIFMA and BS specifications. The use
of quality componentry (suspensions and
hardware) custom made to our exacting
specifications, ensures life long trouble free
service.
The manufacturing
process and man machine interfaces are designed
to be extremely flexible.
This allows Mercury
to adapt to each customer's requirements, in
terms of product modifications, new product
introductions, and very low turn around times
for production and delivery.
Finish
All products are
powder coated, using a state-of-the-art
pretreatment and coating process, for a flawless
finish.
