Mobile Welders and Metal Fabrication, With Lifting Included

We provide mobile welding and metal fabrication across Melbourne, working in steel, stainless steel and aluminum, on site or in the workshop. Structural work, machinery repairs, custom fabrication and breakdown response.

What makes us different is simple. We are a crane company that welds. On structural jobs, the member has to be held in position while it is welded, and most contractors book a welder from one supplier and a crane from another, then spend the morning waiting for whichever one is late.

One Booking
Instead of Two

Think about how a structural steel job actually runs on site. The beam must be lifted into position and held plumb and true while the welder works, then remain supported until the weld is strong enough to take the load. That is a crane and a welder completing one job together, and their coordination determines how efficiently the work progresses. When they come from separate suppliers, delays can leave one crew waiting while hourly rates continue. We supply both through one booking, scheduled together with a single point of contact. The crane holds the steel, our welder completes the joint, and the work is planned as one operation. We also provide mobile repairs, workshop fabrication and custom metalwork for jobs that do not require lifting. Send us the job, and we will tell you what it needs across Melbourne, Geelong, Bacchus Marsh and Western Victoria.

What We Weld

Our welders work across the processes and materials that cover most commercial and industrial work.

MIG welding. Fast and efficient for steel fabrication, structural work, and general repairs where production speed matters.

TIG welding. Precision work on stainless steel, aluminum and thin sections where the finish and the weld quality both matter.

Arc and stick welding. Reliable on site in conditions where wind, contamination or position rule out gas-shielded processes.

Mild and structural steel. Beams, columns, brackets, frames, gates, balustrades and general structural fabrication.

Stainless steel. Food-grade and industrial work including tanks, benches, handrails, balustrades and pipework.

Aluminium. Repairs and fabrication on lighter structures, trailers, marine work and architectural elements.

Cutting and preparation. Oxy-acetylene cutting, plasma cutting and gouging as part of repair and fabrication work.

What We Work On

Structural Steel On Site

Beams, columns, brackets, cleats, connections and structural members welded in position, with the crane holding the steel while the joint is made.

Machinery and Plant Repair

Cracked frames, worn components, broken attachments and structural failures on plant, machinery and industrial equipment.

Custom Metal Fabrication

Frames, brackets, mounts, guards, platforms, stairs, handrails and purpose-built items made from drawings, measurements or a description.

Stainless Steel Work

Tanks, benches, handrails, balustrades and pipework for food, industrial and architectural applications where stainless is required.

Aluminum Repairs and Fabrication

Trailers, marine components, architectural sections and lighter structures where aluminum needs specialist handling.

Breakdown and Emergency Repairs

Failures that stop work are repaired on site where they sit rather than waiting for equipment to be transported to a workshop.

We proudly support the construction, civil, commercial, residential and industrial construction sectors, along with infrastructure, mining, manufacturing, logistics and warehousing clients throughout Victoria. If your load is not listed here, give us a ring; chances are we have lifted one just like it.

How We Work

Six things that apply to our welding work:

Qualified welders. Work performed by trade-qualified welders, with welding procedures supplied where the job or the standard requires them.

Fully equipped mobile units. Vehicles carrying their own power, cutting equipment and consumables, so sites with no facilities are not a problem.

Cranes available on the same booking. Lifting arranged alongside the welding rather than sourced separately, which removes the coordination risk entirely.

Work from drawings or from site. Fabrication built from your drawings, or measured and designed on site where no drawings exist.

Structural work to standard. Structural welding performed to the applicable Australian Standard with documented procedures where required.

Insured and compliant. Public liability cover and site documentation supplied ahead of attendance.

Structural steel needing certified welding procedures? Call 0457 000 637 with the specification, because the standard the job is built to determines how it is quoted.

What is fabrication?

Metal fabrication is the process of building something from raw metal by cutting, bending, shaping, and joining it. Welding is one part of that process. A fabricator takes material and drawings and produces a finished item, whereas a welder joins metal that already exists in some form.

Both. Mobile welding suits anything fixed in place, structural, or too large to move, and it avoids downtime. Workshop fabrication suits builds, batch work, and anything needing controlled conditions. We will say which is cheaper for your job.

Mild and structural steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Different materials need different processes and preparation, so tell us the material when you enquire because it affects both the method and the price.

Yes. MIG for speed on steel fabrication and structural work; TIG for precision work on stainless, aluminum, and thin material where finish matters. Arc welding is used on site where conditions rule out gas-shielded processes.

Structural welding is performed to the applicable Australian Standard, with welding procedures supplied where the project requires them. Send us the specification, and we will confirm what applies before quoting.

Yes, and it is the main reason clients use us for structural work. The crane holds the member in position while the joint is made, and both come from one booking rather than two suppliers you have to coordinate.

Yes. Failures that stop production or block a site are repaired where they sit. Call the office line and tell us what has broken and where.

Yes, and also without them. Send drawings if you have them. If you do not, we can measure on site and work from that, which is common on repairs and retrofit work.

Yes. Small repairs, brackets, gates and one-off items are regular work. Tell us what it is, and we will quote it rather than turning it away for being small.

Mobile work is generally quoted with a minimum attendance covering travel and setup, then by the hour. Fabrication is quoted on the job. Call 0457 000 637 with the details for a figure.

All Melbourne metro suburbs, with Maidstone, Werribee and Caroline Springs among the areas we attend most often, extending through Geelong, Bacchus Marsh, Melton and Ballarat, plus regional Victoria.

We work from 25 Rowsley Station Rd, Maddingley VIC 3340, directly on the Western Freeway, which keeps mobile welding response times across the western suburbs and metro area realistic rather than optimistic. Maidstone has a large stock of older industrial and light manufacturing premises now being refitted. Structural modifications, mezzanine work, machinery repairs and retrofit fabrication all come up constantly there, and much of it has to be done in place.

Werribee brings heavier industrial and processing work. Stainless steel is common in food and treatment facilities, and plant repairs on running sites need mobile attendance rather than machinery being dismantled and transported. Caroline Springs and the Melton corridor run to construction and commercial fit-out. Structural steel connections, balustrades, handrails, gates and custom brackets recur across build programs, and the crane and welder combination suits that work particularly well. We also weld across Sunshine, Footscray, Yarraville, Laverton, Altona, Truganina, Derrimut, Point Cook, Taylors Lakes and Melton, plus Geelong, Bacchus Marsh, Ballan, Ballarat and regional Victoria. Searching "mobile welder near me" or "welding and fabrication Melbourne"? Working from the freeway corridor means our mobile units reach most metro and western sites without a long run in.
