Being able to accommodate for over 50 people on site really helps us a company offer a full package, and here at Rydam we have everything under one roof. Training is delivered by leading industry professionals, with industry leading syllabuses and materials. We believe having the ability to touch and feel with onsite practical courses is imperative, that’s why training at our high-end facility ranges from user compliance courses, maintenance courses to technical learning on ebs and abs.
We have invested heavily over the last few years to be able to grow our business in a way that meets our customers’ needs and expectations. Using the latest in high definition cnc plasma cutters we are able to mass produce unmanned identical items every time with little to no after cut prep. Doing this reduces downtime and improves the standard of the finished product. To add to this we have implemented a variety of new CLOOS welding systems, high amperage synergic pulse mig sets, high amperage synergic pulse tig sets and the latest in hand held plasma torch cutters from Lincoln.
Some of the services we can offer; aluminium mig and tig welding, stainless steel mig and tig welding, mild steel mig and tig welding and high tensile steel mig welding. We keep a variety of materials on stock, aluminium profiles, plate, rhs section and heavy high tensile Swedish steel plate, mainly Strenx high performance steel which suits the nature of the business. This allows us to produce items which are not only light and flexible but 3 times the strength of their inferior counterparts.
Onsite bending, forming, shearing, punching and cropping also available as well as lathe machining.

Having run specialist trucks and trailers ourselves for the last 30 years we understand the need to have the combination and compatibility between truck and trailer just right.
So over the last decade we have been focusing on being able to supply our clients with not only the right solution when it comes to trailers but the right solution when it comes to trucks as well. The biggest key component in the ‘riddle’ of truck ride heights falls down to fifth wheels and subframes, and the effects it can have. We are dedicated to helping you find the right ingredients for a long and happy heavy haulage marriage!
We can provide bespoke or off the shelf fifth wheel, sliding table and sub-frame components direct from the manufacturer.
Unique sub-frames are a speciality that we take seriously, after all it plays a big part in how the vehicle handles and performs on a daily basis. We have developed a proven system to be able to run at your maximum weight at the lowest possible height giving us an advantage over our competitors and in turn can deliver key benefits to you as a customer:
