Experienced Manufacturer of Platforms & Bases for Large Equipment
Custom Engineering is an industrial metal fabrication manufacturer with decades of experience building robust platforms and bases for large equipment. Also known as baseplates or soleplates for large equipment, these structures are used throughout the industrial world to securely fasten equipment like pumps and generators in a facility or at a remote worksite. While these platforms are theoretically simple, they require considerable design experience and manufacturing equipment with heavy-lifting capacity available at Custom Engineering to provide reliable performance in challenging applications. With an ISO 9001 certification, an expansive manufacturing facility, and decades of experience, Custom Engineering can manufacture durable platforms and custom machine bases for large equipment for countless industrial applications.
Heavy Equipment Requiring Platforms & Bases
Baseplates and soleplates are essential to distributing the weight of robust equipment over a larger area and providing a stable platform that minimizes vibrations and downward pressure. The platforms and bases for large equipment act as an important barrier between the heavy pieces of machinery and the facility floor or ground. Considering the immense forces and pressures this type of machinery exerts, providing a stable platform and base ensures that the equipment remains firmly in place during continuous operation. Custom Engineering is experienced in manufacturing platforms and bases for large equipment including the following examples:
Examples of Heavy Equipment:
- Air Compressors
- Generators
- Fluid Pumps
- Motors
- Power Plant Equipment
- Electrical Transformers
- Oil & Gas Drilling Platforms
- Shipping Skids
Custom Machine Bases
The experienced engineering and design team at Custom Engineering understands that there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution for large equipment platforms and bases. With robust fabrication equipment, Custom Engineering can not only design but also fabricate oversized custom machine bases with unique shapes, specifications, or finishes to withstand challenging operating conditions. Custom machine bases can be fabricated in a variety of different ways to provide optimal performance for customers.
This can include more robust I-beam configurations to withstand immense loads or to provide added stability when the equipment is in operation. With some machine bases as large as 40 or 50 feet in length and weighing over 100,000 pounds, Custom Engineering understands the importance of safe manufacturing practices and adhering to strict quality standards that guarantee precision on such large weldments. All machine bases are welded by AWS-certified welding professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the various AWS standards required for these types of products.
