Industry Expertise

Health & Safety has been a priority of Tanfield Metal Spinners ever since we started operating. As metal spinners that have been in business since 1984, we know what goes into making effective metal spun safety products. When working on safety projects, we make sure the products provided meet specifications. This takes into consideration the environment, application, and the customer design. Our high-quality working practices in areas such as safety has resulted in ISO9001 accreditation.

Metal Products for Safety 

Tanfield’s range of metal spinning services, which includes pressing, machining, fabricating & welding, polishing, and bespoke metal spinning, enable us to produce a variety of safety equipment. Metal spun parts for safety can vary drastically in size, depending on their role. For example, a construction site gangway needs railings to ensure workers don’t fall off. However, the same workers might also need steel toe caps which are much smaller. This is why Tanfield’s capabilities make us ideal for doing metal spinning work in this industry.  

Our experts can produce work up to a circumference of 2.4 meters and a thickness of 10mm. The result is Tanfield can produce the following metal safety parts: 

  • Warning devices such as bells and horns 
  • Storage vessels 
  • Tank heads 
  • Dished ends 
  • Bases and mounts 

All our safety sector products can perform their intended function over a long lifespan, without a loss in effectiveness. 

Capabilities used to Deliver Metal Spun Industrial Safety Products

At Tanfield, we use industry knowledge to match metal spinning services to our customers’ specifications. For instance, members of our metal spinning team might advise metal swaging or metal pressing to get the best results for a certain project. This also means that if you require unique safety products, we sit down to discuss what processes will get the best results.  

We have a large range of automatic spinning lathes, hydraulic metal presses, swaging machines, and tools to create safety products. This gives us the capacity to scale operations in line with the needs of your project. Tanfield Metal Spinners prides itself on maintaining a 3-4 week lead time where possible. Resultantly, we ensure projects that require additional safety equipment aren’t faced with delays. 

We understand that certain safety equipment must be able to withstand certain conditions, such as the effects of corrosion, blunt force, extreme temperatures, friction, crushing, and penetrating.

Tanfield has the capabilities necessary to perform and make adjustments in our metal spinning process to accommodate a wide range of materials including:

Aluminium
Brass
Carbon Steel
Copper
Corten
Duplex
Hastelloy Alloys
Inconel
Mu-metal
Nimonic
Nirosta
Silver
Stainless Steel
Titanium
Zintec

Specialist materials can be annealed for use when necessary. Tanfield also offers anodising as an additional treatment service to ensure safety equipment retains a high level of protection over time. 

Top things we get asked

Metal work for safety applications involves manufacturing components and equipment designed to protect people, property, and processes in potentially hazardous environments.

Metal spun safety products are used across construction, manufacturing, processing, transport, utilities, and industrial facilities where risk mitigation is essential.

Metal spinning produces strong, consistent components with excellent structural integrity, making it ideal for safety products that must perform reliably under stress.

We manufacture warning devices, storage vessels, tank heads, dished ends, bases, mounts, and other bespoke safety-related components.

Yes. Our capabilities allow us to manufacture components ranging from small precision parts to large-scale items up to 2.4 metres in circumference and 10mm thick.

We work closely with customers, reviewing designs, applications, and environments to ensure all products meet required specifications and performance expectations.

Yes. Where required, we can review project-specific risk assessments to determine the most appropriate materials, processes, and manufacturing methods.

We work with a wide range of materials including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium, copper, and specialist alloys chosen for strength, durability, and resistance to harsh conditions.

Absolutely. We offer finishing and treatment services such as anodising and annealing to enhance corrosion resistance and extend product lifespan.

Thanks to our extensive in-house equipment and automated machinery, we typically maintain lead times of 3–4 weeks where possible to avoid delays on safety-critical projects.
