Industrial Design & Manufacture

At T-Rax, we unite industrial design and manufacturing expertise to take ideas from concept through to production. Industrial design is about more than how a product looks—it’s about how it works, how it’s made, and how people interact with it. By coupling creative design with practical manufacturing know-how, we deliver products that are functional, durable, and ready for the real world.

What is Industrial Design & Manufacture?

Industrial design focuses on the usability, ergonomics, and visual appeal of a product. Manufacture ensures that product can be made efficiently, repeatedly, and at scale. When these disciplines are aligned from the start, the result is a product that balances:

Form: appearance, aesthetics, and user experience
Function: performance, safety, and reliability
Fabrication: suitability for chosen materials and production methods

Why it matters

Seamless transition from design to production – avoiding disconnects that cause delays or rework.
Reduced costs – design choices are guided by real-world manufacturing efficiencies.
User-centred products – industrial design ensures the product is intuitive and practical.
Consistent quality – repeatable processes and robust design standards deliver reliable outcomes.
Sustainability built in – designs that minimise material use and energy during production.

Our approach

1. Discovery & Concept Development
We begin with research—understanding user needs, operational environments, and your commercial objectives. Concepts are sketched, modelled, and refined for both usability and feasibility.

2. Prototyping & Validation
3D models and prototypes allow us to test ergonomics, aesthetics, and manufacturability before committing to production.

3. Design for Manufacture (DfM) Integration
We apply DfM principles throughout, ensuring every design decision aligns with efficient material selection, tooling, and assembly processes.

4. Precision Fabrication
Products are manufactured in-house or with trusted partners, using steel fabrication, welding, machining, and finishing processes to exacting standards.

5. Quality & Lifecycle Support
We validate products against load ratings, dimensional accuracy, and functional performance, and we offer spares, repairs, and refinements to extend product life.

What we design & build

Industrial storage solutions – stillages, cages, post pallets, bins, and frames
Material handling equipment – bespoke trolleys, carriers, and A-frames
Specialist fabrications – custom steel structures, jigs, and fixtures
Retail & back-of-house equipment – practical, durable solutions for high-traffic use
Custom-engineered products – tailored designs to solve unique operational challenges

Design & manufacturing considerations

User ergonomics – safe, efficient handling for operators
Materials & finishes – balancing strength, cost, and environmental resistance
Assembly efficiency – minimising welds, fixings, and complex joins
Modularity & scalability – enabling future variations without total redesign
Brand identity – incorporating visual elements and finishes to reflect your company’s image

What Our Customers Say

Having used T-Rax on a number of occasions I've always found them to offer a very professional and reliable service.

We have used T-Rax a few times over the years. Most recently they have assisted on the elements for our reception refurb. They have been helpful all through the ongoing process - great quality versus cost.

T-Rax fabricated some railings and a gate for one of our customers. They designed and manufactured the product, delivered it to site and assisted with the installation. I cannot recommend them highly enough - fantastic service from start to finish.

Good communication and quality products. Tom did everything he could to make sure the project delivered in the time frame we set out. Would recommend.

We use T-Rax for a plethora of fabricated bits and they always deliver exactly what we need. Fantastic service

Tom and the team supply bespoke industrial design legs for our rustic furniture company. We are extremely happy with the level of communication, designs and the high quality of bespoke items produced. Highly recommend! Thank you T-Rax
