Automobile Chassis & Frames
Automobile Chassis is considered to be one of the significant structures of an automobile. It is usually made of a steel frame, which holds the body and motor of an automotive vehicle. More precisely, it is a skeletal frame on which various mechanical parts like engine, tires, axle assemblies, brakes, steering etc are bolted. At the time of manufacturing, the body of a vehicle is flexibly molded according to the structure of chassis. Chassis is usually made of light sheet metal or composite plastics. It provides strength needed for supporting vehicular components and payload placed upon it. It helps keep an automobile rigid, stiff and unbending. Chassis ensures low levels of noise, vibrations and harshness throughout the automobile.

Ladder Chassis is considered to be one of the oldest forms of chassis that is still used by most of the SUVs till today. As its name connotes, ladder chassis resembles a shape of a ladder having two longitudinal rails inter linked by several lateral and cross braces.

It has a rectangular tube like backbone, usually made up of glass fibre that is used for joining front and rear axle together. This type of chassis is strong and powerful enough to provide support smaller sports car. It is easy to make and cost effective.

Backbone Chassis
Monocoque Chassis
Monocoque Chassis is a one-piece structure that prescribes the overall shape of a vehicle. This type of chassis is manufactured by welding floor pan and other pieces together. Since it is cost effective and suitable for robotised production, most of the vehicles today make use of steel plated monocoque chassis.


Tie Bar  
Tie Bar refers to a metal rod or bar used for connecting pad of one lead frame to the rails of the other lead frame. More precisely this type of bar is used for tying, fastening, binding or wrapping different parts or components of an automobile engine.
