ZENA mobile welding system projects

 

Welcome to our welding projects section!

Now that you have your new ZENA mobile welder installed (or have your new ZENA Backpak welder), it's time to put that equipment to use.!

To help you to do this, we have organized links to a number of welding projects.

If you don't have a ZENA welder yet, WELCOME ANYWAY!

While you're here, we invite you to see how easy, and inexpensive, it is to attach our high power, 100% duty cycle, low cost, multi-process DC mobile welder to your vehicle or engine. CLICK HERE for info. about our welders. If you are thinking about attaching a ZENA welder to an existing engine, you will be particularly interested in the guidelines/plans provided by some of our customers.

Our project resources fall into three categories:

While we can't guarantee your results, we hope that you will have fun!
