Since 1960 Austin Hardware® has been a go-to supplier for manufacturers and repair centers in the transportation industry. Of course, the transportation industry transcends land-based vehicles such as trucks, trailers, busses, and rail cars. Many boat and shipbuilders have looked to Austin for hardware and fastening solutions as well. If you are a yacht, boat, or shipping vessel manufacturer, take a look at some of the solutions we have for your business.

Our goal is to supply you not only with the highest quality product at a competitive price, but also the technical support that this engineered product demands. To accomplish this goal we have partnered with Stabilus, the world leader in gas springs. We also have very experienced design engineers available to support all of your design applications and requirements.
The Genesis line of gas springs has been created to cover the industry's wide range of size and force requirements. These include the very compact lower force springs in the 6x15 range to the largest force requirement in the 14x28 configuration.
Engineering Highlights of Genesis Gas Springs:
Nislide Rods - The Nislide process creates a tough, ductile, fatigue-resistant nitride surface on the rod. When compared with chrome-plated rods in 24-hour ASTM B117 salt-spray tests, nitrided rods exhibited superior corrosion resistance by a factor of 8 to 1.
Lip Sealed - Overall improved sealing properties, which lead to longer gas spring life.
Roll-Closed Tube Ends - This cold-forming rollover process eliminates the need for 360° disk welds which have higher failure rates due to gas loss and structural failure.
We have a solution for any door, lid, hatch, or compartment that needs to be held open and safely returned to a closed position.

"Since my company entered into a vendor managed inventory program with Austin, our service levels and in-stock position on our parts have never been better. We consolidated 23 suppliers down to one, Austin.
Now we only have one invoice to review, one shipment to check in and we are in stock 99% of the time! Austin has one of the best customer service teams we work with, I would recommend this program to anyone who needs to take control of their inventory and be sure to have the parts you need on the shelves!"
Gary from Ohio
"I wanted to send along some great news. We have experienced a few problems with shipping over the years, but the solutions that you put in place over the last few weeks have been very positive. On another note, Tom and Emma, the Vendor Managed Inventory team that I have been working with, have done a great job responding to concerns and questions in a timely fashion. That fact is another reason our VMI program is successful and getting stronger every day. Our overall numbers continue to increase and we are looking forward to the growth in 2017."
