Custom designed systems offer the flexibility and efficiency today’s industrial and warehouse operations demand. By combining elements like handrails, stairs, ladders, and cantilever racking into one integrated solution, facilities can achieve a safer, more organized, and highly tailored operational environment. As your trusted US metal fabrication company, we specialize in engineering complete, code-compliant systems that work in harmony with your workflow, space constraints, and safety requirements.
Applications for Custom Designed Systems

-
Mezzanine Access and Safety
Pair stairs, ladders, and handrails with elevated work platforms or mezzanines to create a secure, code-compliant means of vertical access and fall protection.
-
Storage Optimization
Combine cantilever racking with custom staircases and walkways to create multi-level access to long, heavy, or irregularly shaped inventory.
-
Machine and Equipment Zones
Create secure access around large machinery or robotic cells by integrating ladders, guardrails, and cantilever racking into a cohesive system.
-
Outdoor Storage Yards
Design a custom racking system for exterior use with integrated access ladders and safety railings for loading, unloading, or inspections.
-
In-Plant Office Integration
Custom systems can support modular office installations with built-in stairs, safety rails, and access points designed to meet building codes and operational flow.
-
Hazardous or High-Traffic Areas
Use warehouse safety handrails and custom industrial stairs or ladders to control pedestrian traffic around dangerous zones or high-speed equipment areas.
