Fabrication that starts with the problem
Custom work is rarely served by generic answers. Schmelzle MechFab works from the part, equipment, measurements, and intended use to evaluate a sensible way to repair or build it.
Steel and aluminum welding
Welding and fabrication capabilities include steel and aluminum work for appropriate projects. Material, access, contamination, loading, and existing damage all affect whether and how a component can be repaired.
Repair and custom fabrication
The shop handles repair fabrication as well as custom components and modifications. Truck- and equipment-related work can combine cutting, fit-up, welding, and finishing around the actual application.
Architectural metalwork
Custom steel stairs, railings, and handrails are now presented as a dedicated shop capability. View completed and in-progress stairs and railing projects.
One project, shop to site
From raw steel to finished installation
This outdoor stair project moved from fabricated stringers, posts, landings, and rail sections in the shop to a completed exterior installation.
Custom commercial fabrication
Fabric-display fixtures built for a specific use
Schmelzle MechFab custom fabricated these white structures for Furniture Mall of Missouri for fabric displays. The completed fixtures are shown secured for transport.
The project demonstrates how the shop can turn an unusual commercial need into repeatable fabricated assemblies without limiting the work to automotive or repair applications.
Machining-supported work
Actual in-shop machining capability
In-shop lathes support projects that need more than welded fit-up alone. Machining can help create or modify parts, establish accurate interfaces, and solve repair problems that cross traditional service categories.
Project suitability depends on the part, dimensions, material, condition, and intended use.
