Precision Built for Industrial Demands: Custom Fabrication for CertainTeed in Oxford, North Carolina

How Purpose-Built Industrial Fabrication Supports Safer, Smarter, and More Efficient Operations

When industrial facilities require equipment that fits their workflow, dimensions, and safety needs precisely, off-the-shelf solutions rarely deliver. That is why leading manufacturers like CertainTeed in Oxford, North Carolina rely on highly specialized fabrication partners to engineer equipment that matches exact operational requirements. Recently, our team completed two key custom-built components for their facility: a heavy-duty industrial cart built to customer specifications and a precision-rolled aluminum pipe designed for use as a lifting beam for rolled materials.

Both projects demonstrate how custom fabrication improves safety, boosts productivity, and eliminates inefficiencies that standard equipment simply cannot address.

A Custom Industrial Cart Engineered Around the Job

Material movement is one of the most critical functions inside a manufacturing plant. CertainTeed needed a transport system capable of handling their unique loads safely while integrating seamlessly into existing workflow paths.

We engineered and fabricated a fully custom industrial cart that included:

• Heavy-gauge steel construction for long-term durability

• Load-specific reinforcement based on CertainTeed’s weight and distribution requirements

• Ergonomic mobility features to support safer manual handling

• Footprint and height tailored to their plant layout and operational constraints

This custom cart ensures materials can be moved more efficiently while reducing strain on personnel and minimizing potential equipment failure that might occur with generic, one-size-fits-all carts.

Precision-Rolled Aluminum Pipe for a Lifting Beam

Handling rolled materials, especially in industrial environments, demands equipment with exact tolerances. The team at CertainTeed required a rolled aluminum pipe designed to function as part of a lifting beam system—a critical tool for managing heavy rolls safely and accurately.

Our fabrication team:

• Rolled the aluminum pipe to precise specifications

• Ensured uniform structural integrity across the entire beam

• Delivered a beam component designed to integrate seamlessly into their lifting system

• Provided a solution that enhances efficiency while meeting strict safety expectations

The result is a lifting beam component capable of supporting heavy rolls with reduced risk—and with the precision needed for reliable, daily use.

Why Custom Fabrication Matters

For companies like CertainTeed, custom fabrication offers several advantages:

• Enhanced safety through equipment built specifically for load types and handling requirements

• Operational efficiency by eliminating mismatched or undersized equipment

• Long-term cost savings through reduced downtime and longer equipment lifespan

• Better workflow integration with components designed for the exact environment where they will be used

Custom fabrication is not just about building equipment. It is about creating solutions that fit the customer’s process so well that productivity naturally increases.
