Agricultural Equipment Design

Agricultural equipment works in mud, dust, heat, and cold, often far from a service shop. It carries large loads, folds and unfolds for transport, and has to be affordable for growers. Designs that look good on paper can fail quickly in the field, and every failure costs a farmer time in a short season. SGW designs agricultural equipment and components with field conditions in mind. We engineer structures, mechanisms, and assemblies for real loads, use finite element analysis to find weak points before prototypes are built, and design for the fabrication methods and production volumes that fit the product. Our ag work includes redesigning GenZ Technology's advanced crop sprayer to reduce production cost, strengthen substructures, and improve its folding mechanisms and airflow, and engineering a heavy-duty injection molded tread drive for pivot irrigation that reduces field ruts while carrying massive loads.
