Custom equipment Rails

Custom equipment rails are engineered-to-order mounting solutions manufactured by specialty fabrication companies to provide reliable, secure, and application-specific support that standard products cannot offer. These rails are designed to meet exact dimensions, load requirements, and environmental conditions.

Materials and Processes

Custom equipment rails are produced using materials and techniques tailored to performance and durability requirements.

Materials:

Galvanized Steel: A common choice for rooftop and industrial applications due to its strength and resistance to corrosion.
Aluminum: Selected for lightweight applications and natural corrosion resistance.

Stainless Steel: Used in high-exposure or high-hygiene environments (e.g., food processing) for superior heat and corrosion resistance.

Processes:

Custom Fabrication: Involves cutting, bending, and welding to create specific shapes and structures.

Precision Engineering: Utilizes 3D modeling and CAD files to ensure exact dimensional accuracy and structural consistency.
Welding: Continuous welded corners and seams ensure strength and weather resistance.

Finishing: Options like powder coating or painting are available to enhance durability and appearance.
Applications and Features

Custom equipment rails are utilized in various sectors where standard solutions are insufficient:

Rooftop Mounting: For HVAC systems, pipe supports, and duct supports, where they ensure a secure, watertight, and stable base that meets specific building and safety codes (wind/seismic).

Industrial/Structural: Used for guardrails, safety barriers, access systems, and machine framing within factories and industrial settings, often needing to comply with OSHA regulations.

Transportation: Components for rail infrastructure and maintenance equipment, designed for durability in high-load, high-vibration environments.

Custom Features: Often include integrated wood nailers for secure flashing attachment, internal bracing, and specific engineering to bear the load and vibration of heavy equipment.
