The Upkeepers crew take pride in tackling unique and challenging projects. A recent custom welding job in Nambour on the Sunshine Coast is a perfect example. A client approached us with a request for a custom-built aluminium staircase for their camping trailer.
Our expert welder took on the task using a TIG Welder. This technique is ideal for delicate and detailed welding, especially with aluminium.
At Upkeepers, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality custom solutions for our clients, no matter how unique the request. Recently, our skilled welding team took on an exciting project in Nambour, located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. Our team member was tasked with creating a custom-built aluminium staircase for a camping trailer.
The Challenge: Upgrading the Camping Trailer
Our client, an avid camper, needed a durable and lightweight staircase to provide easy access to their camping trailer. The staircase needed to be strong enough to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, yet light enough to be easily maneuvered and stored when not in use. This required a solution that combined precision engineering with expert craftsmanship.
The Solution: Precision TIG Welding

To meet these requirements, our welder turned to TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, a process known for its precision and strength, particularly when working with aluminium. Aluminium is a popular choice for projects like this due to its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
TIG welding, with its ability to produce clean and strong welds, was the perfect technique to ensure that the staircase would be both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. The welder meticulously joined each piece of aluminium, ensuring that the final product was not only functional but also visually seamless.
The Result: A Sturdy, Lightweight Staircase
The finished staircase exceeded our client’s expectations. It’s sturdy enough to provide safe access to the trailer while camping, and its lightweight design makes it easy to transport and store. The clean welds and polished aluminium give it a sleek, professional look, perfectly complementing the trailer’s design.
