Custom Fabrication

Brackets, frames, racks, mounts and one-off parts, measured where they'll live and made to fit the first time. Bring us the problem, and we'll build the steel part that solves it.

Measured on site, made to fit

Custom work starts with a tape measure at your truck, rack, machine or building. We take the dimensions off what's already there, sketch the part, and build it to bolt or weld on without a fight. That's how a one-off part goes on right the first time.

Shovel rack baskets, start to finish

A customer in Columbia needed two shovel rack baskets to mount on an existing lumber rack made of 2 by 3 inch rectangular tubing. We built both from 2 by 1/4 inch flat bar, 1/8 inch angle iron and 1/8 inch expanded steel, using two full 4 by 8 sheets and about 40 feet of angle, and fit them to the rack they were made for.

Parts we build

If it's steel and it needs to hold, carry, mount or protect something, we can make it. A photo, a sketch or the broken original is plenty to get started.

  • Brackets, mounts and hangers
  • Racks, baskets and tool holders
  • Flatbeds, headache racks and toolbox mounts
  • Spray bar and equipment mounts
  • Frames, stands and bases
  • Generator, tank and pump stands
  • Guards, covers and shields
  • Replacement parts copied from a broken original

One part or a matching set

Need a single bracket, or the same bracket five times over? Either way, each piece is cut, fit and welded to the same measurements, so the last one matches the first. Flat bar, angle, channel, tube, plate and expanded steel are all everyday stock.

Questions we hear

Can you build a part from a sketch or a broken original?

Yes. A photo, a sketch with measurements or the broken part itself is enough to start. We'll measure what it attaches to and build the new one to fit.

Do you come out to measure?

Yes. When a part has to fit something already in place, the truck comes out, we measure on site, and the part is built to those numbers.

What materials do you work with?

Carbon steel in flat bar, angle, channel, tube, plate and expanded metal, from light gauge up through heavy plate.

Are you certified?

Yes. Our welding is AWS certified: MIG 3G, flux core 3G on 0.045 212 wire, and dual shield 1G through 4G on 0.045 E71T wire.

What hours do you work?

Regular hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After-hours and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday, and are quoted up front. Call or text us to schedule.
