Karl Schmidt Mfg manufactures custom support structures, machine stands, platforms, frames, and access systems for OEM equipment manufacturers.
If your equipment requires a steel structure to support, access, or integrate the machine, we can manufacture it to your drawings and specifications—or work with your engineering team to develop the design.
Our capabilities include:
- Machine support stands and frames
- Structural steel bases
- Maintenance and access platforms
- Catwalks and stairs
- Equipment support structures
- Handrails and safety guarding
- Chutes, hoppers, and structural attachments
- Welded and fabricated steel assemblies
Keep More of the Build Domestic
Many OEMs source fabricated steel components separately from their primary equipment. Karl Schmidt Mfg provides a domestic manufacturing option for these assemblies, helping OEMs reduce dependence on imported fabricated components and simplify their supply chain.
Rather than managing another overseas fabrication source, freight, quality control, and delivery schedule, OEMs can send the structural portion of the project to Karl Schmidt Mfg and receive finished, fabricated assemblies ready for installation.
Built to Your Drawings
We can manufacture directly from your existing drawings, models, and specifications. Our fabrication capabilities also allow us to work with your engineering team when modifications or production-ready detailing are required.
From a simple equipment stand to a complete structural support package, we focus on fit, durability, weld quality, and field installation.
One Supplier for More of Your Machine
Conveyors, platforms, stands, guarding, and structural steel often surround the primary machine. Karl Schmidt Mfg can manufacture these components alongside the conveyor system, giving OEMs one domestic supplier for more of the finished equipment package.
White-Label Structural Fabrication
Your drawings. Your brand. Our shop floor.
Some OEMs would rather their customers see a single name on the finished equipment. Karl Schmidt Mfg fabricates stands, platforms, frames, guarding, and structural assemblies to your prints and quality requirements, then supplies them ready to ship under your brand. It adds fabrication capacity to your operation without the floor space, the headcount, or the capital.
