Shop Fabrication
Some builds are too big, too heavy or too exact to put together in the field. Those go on the shop table, get lifted and turned with the hoist, and come back to you finished and ready to mount.
The table and the hoist
Every shop build starts on a 4 by 8 foot steel fabrication table, flat and square, where parts get laid out, clamped and tacked before a single full weld goes in. A shop hoist lifts and turns the heavy pieces, so big frames get welded in the best position for the weld.
Cut, fit, weld and finish
Steel gets cut to length with the band saw, the torch or the plasma cutter, and every joint is ground clean. Each assembly is checked for square while it's still tacked, then welded out and cleaned up, ready to paint or mount. A recent pair of shovel rack baskets was built exactly this way, from layout to final weld on the table.
What goes through the shop
The shop handles a wide range of project sizes, from small parts that need a steady hand to builds big enough to fill the table.
- Large frames that need to stay square
- Welded skids and equipment bases
- Racks, baskets and carts
- Work tables, stands and jigs
- New pin brackets and attachment mounts
- Heavy plate work in the 3/4 to 1 inch range
- Matching parts built in batches
- Multi-piece assemblies bolted up and checked before delivery
Delivered ready to mount
When the build is done, it comes to you. Pieces arrive ready to bolt up or set in place, and if the last welds belong on site, the rig brings the finish work right to where the piece will live.

What our customers say
Emmit showed up early, was professional, made some perfect welds, cleaned up any mess left over afterwards, and the welds are holding up superbly.
Hired Emmit to put some new brackets on my brush guard bumper. Showed up right when he said he would, and did an amazing job.
Emmit shows up on time and does quality work at a reasonable price.

Questions we hear
Why build it in the shop instead of on site?
A flat table, a hoist and steady conditions make big or precise builds faster and straighter. Anything that has to stay square, or is heavy enough to need lifting, comes out better on the table.
Can you deliver the finished piece?
Yes. Shop builds come to you ready to mount, and the rig can handle any final welding on site.
How big a project can the shop handle?
A wide range, from small brackets to large frames. The 4 by 8 foot table takes big layouts, and the hoist handles the heavy pieces.
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.
