Most component manufacturers know Triad because of framing, squaring, and sheathing tables. If you attended the BCMC show in Omaha in October, you also saw our newest innovation—the ProFusion Sheathing Bridge with Autonomous Operation. But do you know all of the products that Triad/Merrick Machine Company has to offer? We have many additional products that businesses across the building industry rely on us to provide.
While Triad Machines serve builders of all kinds, we have had a keen interest in helping the Modular Builder dating back to 1974. Through the years as the modular industry has changed and evolved, Triad has led the way in technology and equipment changes to assist these builders with their unique needs in equipment sizes and degrees of automation. Besides framing and sheathing operations, Triad offers hydraulic Tilt and Flip Tables that can be stationary or bi-directional, MEP Rack Stations, MEP Hydraulic Lifting Platforms, Multi-Directional Conveyors, Manual-Powered-Automated Transfer Stations, Material Bridges with 4000# capacity, Semi-Automated or Automated Floor Deck Systems, and so much more.
Considering diversifying your business? For 30 years, Triad has produced a full line of products for the light-gauge steel framing industry. Triad offers SIX different framing tables alone so that we can meet our customers’ needs! Triad understands that the LGS building community has needs that are every bit as diverse as the modular builder and there should not be a one-size/one-selection fits all approach to this community of builders. Triad’s full line of sub-component and material handling equipment for LGS panelization are the perfect complement to our framing stations and feed into the Triad Sheathing Station featuring the Triad Screw Bridge with programmable tool spacing.
Building deck stairs? Box stairs? Triad has a multitude of solutions for you and your business. For 30 years, Triad has offered automated stair-building equipment. Now in our third-generation of automation, Triad is producing the CNC StairBoss PRO multipurpose stair router which is 2½ times faster than our previous industry standard, the Smart Stair Router (SSR). Triad also offers the Open Stringer Saw (OSS) with the capability to cut up to four stringers at once. As with our other product lines, Triad offers a full line of accessory equipment to assist the professional stair-builder.
Over the last 60 years, the business climate has certainly changed. However, under the same family of ownership Triad has been the steady companion of builders everywhere. Today the company is run by third-generation CEO Russ Merrick, and the fourth generation is highly active in the day-to-day operations so we will continue to serve your needs well into the future.
Triad/Merrick Machine Company is one of the members of a diversified family of Merrick companies with footprints in Alda and Hastings, Nebraska. This diversification means that our company has successfully weathered many kinds of economic environments and we will continue to take care of helping you grow your business. We are proud to put our products, our people, our manufacturing, and our service after the sale to work for you and your business.
