Alongside structural steelwork and bespoke fabrication projects, J Johnstone Engineering regularly undertake batch production fabrication work from our workshop in Silloth, Cumbria.
Over the past year, our team has produced a number of steel pallet batches for industrial clients, manufactured to suit specific handling, storage and logistical requirements.
These pallets were fabricated from client-supplied drawings, ensuring the finished products matched the exact dimensions and specifications required for each application.
Fabrication of Bespoke Steel Pallets
Steel pallets are often used in industrial environments where standard timber pallets are not suitable.
They provide a strong, durable platform for transporting or storing heavy materials, components and equipment.
Each pallet we fabricated was designed to suit the client’s specific needs, with different sizes and structural configurations used depending on how the pallets would be handled and stacked.
The designs were supplied by the client, allowing our team to fabricate each pallet accurately to the required specifications.
Batch Production Fabrication
The pallets were produced as batch fabrication runs, allowing us to manufacture multiple units efficiently while maintaining consistent quality across each batch.
Batch production work like this benefits from careful planning and accurate fabrication, ensuring each pallet is identical and suitable for use within the client’s handling systems.
Producing these pallets in batches also allows clients to maintain consistent equipment across their operations.
Fabricated In-House at Our Silloth Workshop
All steel pallets were fabricated in-house at our workshop in Silloth, Cumbria.
The fabrication process included:
• cutting and preparation of steel sections
• assembly and welding of pallet frames
• fabrication in accordance with the client’s drawings
Manufacturing projects like this in-house allows us to maintain full control over quality and ensure each pallet meets the required specifications.
Bespoke Fabrication for Industrial Applications
Alongside structural steelwork for construction projects, J Johnstone Engineering regularly fabricate custom steel components and equipment for industrial use.
This includes projects such as:
• steel pallets and transport frames
• industrial pipework and plant modifications
• stainless steel tanks and fabrication
• bespoke workshop fabrication
Producing custom steel items like these allows clients to improve handling, storage and operational efficiency within their facilities.
