TechLink Facilitated A Redesigned Welding Cart From Spika Design & Manufacturing That Now Keeps Aerospace Fabricators Safe At Vandenberg Air Force Base

Dell Barritt, director of the Training Device Design and Engineering Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base, wanted to make the welding operations in his facility as safe as possible. His first step was to re-design the welding cart. He gave it four heavy-duty wheels, a self-coiling reel for the hose, and a secure enclosure for the gas cylinders.

Barritt needed a partner to produce the new carts and he teamed up with a small company out of Montana, Spika Design & Manufacturing https://www.spikamfg.com/

The new welding cart design resulting from the partnership is a prime example of Air Force technology transfer benefiting the U.S. defense mission and the American public.
