Services
Custom Steel Fabrication
We design and manufacture made-to-order steel components for diverse applications. From gates and trailers to machinery parts and steel furniture, our in-house team handles one-off builds or production runs. Using mild steel, stainless, or aluminium, we transform client concepts into durable, site-specific solutions. Our process includes design refinement, precision welding, and quality control to ensure functional, long-lasting results for rural, residential, and commercial use.
Structural Steel Supply
Comprehensive structural steel packages for commercial and industrial projects. We supply frames, footings, and components compliant with Australian standards. Our in-house drafting ensures accurate, build-ready plans while our fabrication capabilities cover full-scale commercial builds. Clients benefit from streamlined project management, certified materials, and on-site installation services to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality or safety.
Cattle Float Construction
Custom-designed cattle and horse floats built for durability and safety. Features include airflow optimisation, heavy-duty flooring, and road-ready engineering. We incorporate dividers, feed bins, and storage solutions tailored to client needs. All floats undergo rigorous quality checks for balanced towing performance. Our regional expertise ensures designs withstand rough rural terrain while prioritising animal comfort and transport efficiency.
Welding Services
Precision welding for structural and custom steel projects. Our licensed team performs in-house and on-site welding for commercial frameworks, agricultural equipment, and residential installations. We handle mild steel, stainless, and aluminium with attention to code compliance and finish quality. Services include repair work, galvanising prep, and integration with crane operations for seamless project execution.
Sandblasting & Painting
Industrial-grade surface preparation and coating solutions for steel longevity. Our in-house sandblasting removes rust and scale while protective coatings like zinc primers and epoxy systems ensure weather resistance. Clients choose custom colours and finishes for branding or functional requirements. We prepare steel for galvanising and apply durable topcoats to extend asset lifespan in harsh Australian conditions.
