What comes out of this shop
-
Structural steel
Beams, columns, base plates, embeds and bracing, detailed from your drawings, drilled on the beam line and set by our own boom truck.
-
Stairs, rails and platforms
Egress stairs, guardrail, ladders and mezzanines, fit up complete in the shop so site work is bolts and a level, not a grinder and an afternoon.
-
Stainless and aluminum
TIG work for food plants, breweries and marine jobs. Polished where it shows, passivated where the inspector will ask.
-
Breakdown and site repair
Two mobile rigs, insured for site work, out the door inside the hour when a dock leveller or a hopper tears out mid-shift.
Room and reach
Eighteen thousand square feet, and our own trucks
Two ten-ton cranes with twenty-four feet of hook height mean a forty-foot weldment stays in one piece from fit-up through paint. Nothing gets spliced because the shop ran out of headroom.
Three flatbeds and a knuckle-boom truck sit in the yard, so we deliver and set our own steel instead of waiting on a carrier who has never handled a stair stringer. When the schedule moves, we move with it rather than filing a change order about it.

What the people who hire us say (sample quotes)
★★★★★
Ironvale fit up a mezzanine over an occupied warehouse on a four-day shutdown. Plumb, square, and their own boom truck set it, so I was not waiting on a crane subcontractor who does not answer the phone on a Saturday.
★★★★★
A dock leveller frame tore out on a Thursday night. Their rig was there by seven, cut it out, welded in new plate, and we shipped Friday morning. I do not want to know what that would have cost me in missed trucks.
★★★★★
They took my sketch off a legal pad, sent a drawing back for me to check, and built exactly that. Railings, gates and a canopy across three properties, all matching, and no surprises on the invoice.
★★★★★
Ray quoted in two days and told me straight which part of my design was going to be a problem before he built it. That is rarer than it ought to be.
