ITAR Registered and Trusted by the Defense Industry, Oil and Gas, Power Generation, and Beyond

Due to the size and weight capacity of the industrial skids and baseplates we manufacture being substantial, we are sought out by industries that require heavy duty metal fabrications. These industries include Oil and Gas, Power Generation, Transportation, Defense, and more. To be contracted for Defense-related work, we are ITAR registered and remain in regulatory  compliance throughout  each project. The industries we serve utilize some of the largest equipment imaginable and our capacity and capabilities ensure that we can manufacture the industrial skids and baseplates they require.

Industrial Machinery Skids and Bases We Fabricate Anchor Large OEM Equipment

The industries mentioned above trust Custom Engineering to manufacture the industrial machinery skids and bases that keep large and expensive OEM equipment secure. If your drawings call for heavy duty baseplates or industrial skids, we will be the fabricator to choose for the job. Examples of the types of equipment the baseplates we manufacture secure include gas and diesel turbines, generators, and compressors. We can manufacture these bases with flatness of .005” per linear square foot and a weight range of 2,500 lbs. up to 130,000 lbs. Uses at the high end of this weight spectrum include solutions like offshore oil rig platforms.
