Mobile welder or fabrication shop?

Mobile welders come to you with a rig truck (welder/generator, torches, grinders), which is ideal for broken railings, gates, fences, equipment that can't move, and repairs on job sites or farms. Fabrication shops build new pieces like railings, brackets, custom gates, and trailer parts with better tooling for cutting, bending, and finishing, then deliver and install. Many local welders do both. Tell us whether the item can be transported.

Tell the welder the metal

Steel, aluminum, cast iron, and stainless each need different processes and filler. A magnet sticks to most steel and cast iron but not to aluminum or most stainless. Photos of the break, the item, and any labels or plates make quotes much faster and more accurate.
