Custom Automotive Grille Parts Rack with EVA and Pneumatic Support
A final-assembly view of a grille parts rack with EVA inserts, pneumatic support and an enclosed cover for controlled internal logistics.
By HAOFU Engineering Team · Updated 2026-08-10
This custom automotive grille parts rack combines EVA inserts to position and separate delicate components, pneumatic support for easier opening and an enclosed cover to reduce dust and accidental contact.
Direct answer: the custom automotive grille parts rack shown here uses EVA inserts, pneumatic support and an enclosed cover to control contact, separation and access for delicate grille components. The video captures final assembly after welding, grinding and powder coating.
Feature breakdown from the video
The EVA structure creates dedicated positions and separates the components. The pneumatic supports make the opening action easier to operate. The enclosed cover adds a barrier against dust and accidental contact during internal logistics and storage. These features work together only when the part geometry and loading motion are known.
| Design element | Purpose in the shown application | Input needed before design |
|---|---|---|
| EVA inserts | Position and separate grille parts | Surface sensitivity and contact geometry |
| Pneumatic support | Assist access to the opening mechanism | Opening motion, operator reach and service access |
| Enclosed cover | Reduce dust and accidental contact | Access frequency and environment |
| Steel frame and finish | Provide the reusable rack structure | Part quantity, route and finish specification |
Why the dunnage and rack should be designed together
A grille rack can fail the application even when the outer frame is strong if the internal contact strategy is wrong. The custom dunnage guidance from Southern Perfection describes foam, fabric, wire and steel locators as part of a reusable protection system. MHI's packaging overview is a useful reminder to check the product, packaging, handling and distribution context together.
Common mistakes when specifying a grille rack
- Using a generic foam block without mapping the grille's sensitive surfaces.
- Adding a cover without checking how often operators need access.
- Specifying pneumatic support without defining the opening motion and service plan.
- Approving the frame before reviewing an actual loading sample.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the grille rack protect the part?
- The video shows EVA inserts that position and separate components, plus an enclosed cover that helps reduce dust, accidental contact and potential damage during internal logistics and storage.
- What is the pneumatic support used for?
- The pneumatic support assists the opening mechanism, making access easier and safer to operate for the shown rack design.
- Is this rack suitable for every automotive grille?
- No. It is a custom project. The rack must be designed around the grille dimensions, contact surfaces, loading method, production process and handling route.
- Which manufacturing stages are shown before assembly?
- The accompanying post describes welding, grinding and powder coating before the EVA protective inserts and pneumatic support system are installed.
- What should be included in a grille-rack RFQ?
- Include the grille drawing or samples, sensitive surfaces, quantity per rack, loading direction, operator access, cover requirement, handling equipment, route and finish expectations.
