Custom fabrication for the plant projects other shops don't want to touch.
From safety guarding and man platforms to a rough idea or plant walk-down, Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation fabricates practical industrial solutions using welding, cutting, forming, machining and coordinated outside processes.
Safety guarding, man platforms, and controlled access — built to fit your equipment.
Plant managers, safety inspectors, and safety managers come to us for exactly this kind of work: practical, code-aware fabrication that keeps people safe around moving equipment without slowing production down.
This is about more than building a part to a print — Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation helps customers improve facility safety and accessibility, not just fabricate metal.
Safety Guarding
Custom machine guarding fabricated to fit your specific equipment — point-of-operation guards, perimeter guarding, and machine safety modifications.
Man Platforms & Access Structures
Access platforms, stairs, catwalks, and handrails built for safe, code-aware access to elevated or hard-to-reach equipment.
Safety Coverings
Coverings and enclosures fabricated for moving parts, pinch points, and hazard areas identified during a plant safety walk-down.
Guarded & Locked Access Doors
Guarded, lockable access doors and gates for restricted equipment areas — built to control access without getting in the way of maintenance.
Send photos, a rough sketch, or schedule a plant walk-down and we'll help scope the safety guarding or access work your plant needs.
Built for practical industrial needs.
- Safety guarding, safety coverings and machine safety modifications
- Man platforms, stairs, catwalks and handrails
- Guarded and locked access doors for restricted areas
- Carts, tables, racks and material-handling equipment
- Frames, bases, skids, chutes and hoppers
- Machined-and-welded assemblies
Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation supports manufacturers across Dallas-Fort Worth with local machining, fabrication, delivery and plant-support capabilities.
Custom Facility & Material Handling Equipment.
Beyond guarding and access, Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation fabricates the practical equipment a plant runs on day to day — carts, tables, racks, frames, base kits, and other custom material-handling, storage, and shop/facility equipment.
Carts
Rolling carts built for moving parts, tooling, or material around the shop or plant floor.
Tables
Work and inspection tables built to fit your process, space, and equipment.
Racks & Storage
Storage and organization racks built for parts, tooling, or stock.
Frames & Base Kits
Welded frames, bases, and skids built to mount or support your equipment.
Production Fabrication & Assembly.
Beyond one-off projects, Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation supports repeat production runs of formed metal, sheet-metal assemblies, enclosures, electrical boxes, and wind-related boxes and components.
- Repeat production runs of formed and fabricated metal parts
- Sheet-metal assemblies and enclosures
- Electrical boxes and wind-related boxes/components
- Recurring welded assemblies, completed in-house or coordinated through our strategic supplier network
You still work with one accountable partner — whether the work happens on our floor or through our supplier network.
Engineering & design expertise, not just fabrication.
Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation keeps a mechanical engineer on staff, alongside experienced CNC programmers and fabricators, so a rough idea, hand sketch, or plant walk-down can be developed into a manufacturable, fabricated solution — without you needing finished drawings first.
A clear path from problem to finished solution.
Define the need.
Photos, sketches, drawings or a plant walk-down are enough to start scoping the project.
Confirm dimensions, interfaces, materials and finish.
Fit and function on your equipment are locked down before fabrication starts.
Cut, form, machine, weld, assemble and deliver.
Outside processes are coordinated as needed for an installation-ready solution.
What customers ask about this capability.
Can you build from a rough sketch?
Yes. A rough sketch, photos and measurements can be enough to begin defining the project.
Do you provide design engineering?
We provide practical fabrication and engineering support within the scope of our capabilities. Projects requiring stamped professional engineering should be identified early.
Can you machine components that are part of the fabrication?
Yes. Combining machining and fabrication under one relationship is a core advantage.
Do you offer onsite installation or plant support?
Onsite support may be available depending on project requirements and availability, including plant walk-downs to help define guarding, platforms and modifications.
Do you build safety guarding, man platforms, or plant safety equipment?
Yes. Safety guarding, man platforms, safety coverings, and guarded access doors are a regular part of our fabrication work for plant managers and safety teams. Bring us the equipment layout or schedule a walk-down and we'll help scope it.
Do you have engineering support in-house?
Yes. Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation has a mechanical engineer on staff, along with experienced CNC programmers and fabricators, to help take a rough concept, sketch, or sample from idea through to a manufacturable, fabricated solution.
Have a difficult industrial problem?
Send the failed part, photo, sketch, or drawing. We'll help determine the fastest practical path forward.
