Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from equipment skids in Etobicoke
Lifting points built in
Fork pockets, lifting lugs, or rigging points are planned before fabrication. Moving the skid safely is part of the design, not something to solve with straps later.
Base plates stay level
Skids that support pumps, motors, or aligned equipment need flat mounting surfaces and room for shimming. A warped base can create vibration and alignment problems.
Finish fits the environment
Painted, galvanized, or stainless details are selected around indoor plant use, washdown, or exterior exposure. The skid often sits where water and debris collect.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
Your equipment skids is supported by Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
