Custom fabrication — established with intent

Built to outlast the road.

We design and fabricate horse floats and structural steelwork the way it used to be done — measured, welded and finished by people who care what you tow.

About

A workshop, not a production line.

Perk'd Up Fabrication is a small crew of steel fabricators, welders and finishers working out of a single shed. We build one float at a time, from the chassis up.

Nothing leaves our floor until it's been driven, inspected and signed off. That's the whole business — quiet work, done properly, delivered on time.

What owners tell us.

It just feels solid. You can hear it in the way the doors close.

They told me what the job needed, not what I wanted to hear. That's rare.
