Custom-Fabricated Skids, Platforms & Frames: Engineered for Performance

In the world of industrial equipment and systems, precision, safety, and efficiency are non-negotiable. That’s where custom-fabricated skids, platforms, and frames come into play. These purpose-built solutions are critical for transporting, installing, and supporting high-value equipment in demanding environments—from water treatment facilities to oil refineries.

What Are Custom-Fabricated Skids?

Custom-fabricated skids are engineered platforms or frames designed to support and transport industrial equipment like pumps, filters, generators, or complete process modules. Each skid is built to order based on the unique requirements of the client, ensuring maximum performance and compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Industries That Rely on Skid Systems

• Oil and Gas

• Petrochemical

• Power Generation

• Water Treatment

• Manufacturing/Industrial Applications

• Irrigation

Whether it's a heavy-duty sand media filter skid or a precision-built enclosure platform, these systems are tailored to deliver durability and efficiency under challenging conditions.

The Skid Fabrication Process

1. Purpose-Driven Design

Every project starts with a clear understanding of the application. The design must account for load capacity, weight distribution, and environmental considerations. Custom skid systems are not just about support—they're about enhancing mobility, safety, and operational readiness.

2. Tailored Customization

Customization is at the core of every Everfilt® skid platform or frame. Clients define their specific needs, and fabrication teams deliver solutions that may include:

• Integrated piping and instrumentation

• Lifting lugs and access platforms

• Electrical connections and control panels

• Corrosion-resistant coatings and finishes

  
  

3. Engineering & 3D CAD Design

Professional engineers use advanced CAD software to create detailed 3D models and engineering drawings. This ensures precision during manufacturing and allows for simulations and stress testing before fabrication begins.

4. Material Selection for Durability

Common materials used in skid fabrication include:

• Carbon Steel – cost-effective and strong

• Stainless Steel – ideal for corrosion resistance

• Aluminum – lightweight and versatile

  
  

Material choices are dictated by operating environments and load demands, ensuring every skid platform or frame stands up to real-world use.

5. Fabrication & Assembly

Manufacturing involves:

• Cutting and Machining

• Welding and Assembly

• Integration of Equipment and Features

  
  

All fabrication is completed according to engineering specs, with attention to safety and structural integrity.

6. Quality Assurance & Testing

Quality control is a priority throughout the build process. This includes:

• Dimensional inspections

• Weld integrity testing (e.g., ultrasonic or dye penetrant testing)

• Load testing and fit-up verification

Each unit is manufactured to meet or exceed regulatory and safety standards.

7. Documentation & Compliance

Every custom-fabricated skid comes with detailed documentation such as:

• Material and welding certificates

• As-built drawings

• Operation and maintenance manuals

• Regulatory certifications

This ensures full transparency and compliance with industry requirements.

8. Installation & Commissioning Support

Skid systems are transported and installed onsite, often with assistance from the fabrication provider. Services may include:

• Electrical and piping integration

• Final alignment and bolting

• Commissioning and operational testing
