We build what moves the Caribbean.
Trays, bodies, tanks, silos and mobile units — heavy and light sheet metal work, designed, fabricated and finished under one roof in Chaguanas.
Every panel is a job that left our yard. Bodies, wraps, booths and trays, since 1979.
Forty-seven years of not cutting corners.
Formed in 1979 and growing its share of the market ever since. Heavy structural steel, engineering components and auto body parts — taken the whole way, from the first drawing to the last coat of paint.
Six divisions, one floor.
The tray, the body, the liftgate and the livery all come off the same floor, to the same standard. Nothing gets sent out and waited on.
Built in Trinidad.
Working across the Caribbean.
Our main office and factory sit in central Trinidad, close to the industrial sector we serve. From there our bodies, tanks and structures ship out across the region.

Tailgate lifts
Liftgates specified with the body — not bolted on after.
SMI is the official Tommy Gate distributor for Trinidad & Tobago. Because we build the body and fit the liftgate on the same floor, the mounting, the wiring and the tail clearance are designed together instead of worked around.
- Supply & fittingSized to the chassis and the load, then installed with the body build.
- Service & partsHydraulics, controls and platforms serviced here, so a down truck is not a shipping wait.
- Rated and documentedCapacity matched to what the vehicle actually carries, without compromising the manufacturer's standards.
