Precision Fabrication & Assembly

Integrated CNC tube bending, laser cutting, welding, and finishing. Every rail system is fabricated with structural precision and aesthetic attention to detail.

CNC Tube Bending

Mandrel-supported bending for 316 stainless and aluminum tubes. Typical tolerances ±0.3–0.8 mm depending on diameter, radius, and material springback characteristics.

TIG/MIG Welding

Fixture-controlled welding with visual and dimensional inspection. Assembly tolerances ±0.5–1.0 mm confirmed at quote based on joint configuration and fixture complexity.

Laser Tube Cutting

Precision end cuts, miters, and mounting holes in one setup. Tolerances ±0.05–0.1 mm for feature positioning and dimensional accuracy.

Railing & Deck Fitting Solutions

Beyond simple railings, we design integrated systems combining safety, functionality, and aesthetic finish in a single fabricated assembly.

Safety Railings

Custom bow rails, pulpits, and stanchion systems engineered to meet ABYC and maritime safety standards.

Anchor & Line Management

Integrated anchor roller mounts, bow hardware brackets, and cleat attachment points with structural reinforcement.

Modular Deck Hardware

Standardized railing sections with adjustable base plates for curved deck integration and simplified installation.

Materials & Corrosion-Resistant Finishing

Material Selection

Marine-grade materials are essential for long-term durability in saltwater environments. We offer proven solutions in stainless steel and anodized aluminum.

316 Stainless Steel — Superior saltwater corrosion resistance, industry standard
304 Stainless Steel — Cost-effective option for protected marine environments
5083 Marine Aluminum — Maximum corrosion resistance for critical saltwater exposure
6061-T6 Aluminum — Lightweight construction with Type III hard-coat anodize finish

Surface Finishing Options

Professional finishing enhances both performance and appearance of your railing system.

Mirror Polishing — Premium high-gloss finish for stainless railings
Brushed/Satin Finish — Professional appearance with reduced maintenance requirements
Anodizing (Type II/III) — Hard-coat protection for aluminum railing systems
Passivation & Clear Coating — Maximum corrosion defense for offshore service

Every finish is selected for long-term saltwater performance and ease of maintenance.

Quality Assurance & Compliance

Every railing system is fabricated under ISO 9001 certified quality management with structural validation and compliance documentation.

Precision Standards

Tube bending:±0.3–0.8 mm
Laser cutting:±0.05–0.1 mm
Welding assembly:±0.5–1.0 mm (fixture-controlled)

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is best for marine railings?

316 stainless steel is the industry standard for saltwater railing systems due to superior corrosion resistance and aesthetic finish. 304 stainless is cost-effective for protected environments. Marine-grade aluminum (5083/6061) offers lightweight construction with hard-coat anodize finish. Material choice depends on vessel type, operating environment, and budget confirmed during DFM.

Do you fabricate modular or fixed railing systems?

Both. We can design rigid welded systems for single-vessel custom builds or modular pre-assembled sections for boat builders and OEMs. Modular systems reduce installation time and simplify repair/replacement cycles.

Can railing integrate seating or other functions?

Yes. We regularly design bow rails with integrated seating benches, rod holder mounts, cleat attachment points, and anchor hardware. All features are engineered for structural integrity and simplified installation.

What safety standards do you follow?

Our designs comply with ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) standards, NFPA guidelines, and ISO maritime standards. We provide structural analysis and documentation supporting compliance. Specific requirements are reviewed during the DFM phase.

What are typical lead times and costs?

From 7–10 business days after design approval for prototype or small-batch custom fabrication. Volume orders may have extended timelines for tooling and production scheduling. Expedited timelines available on request. Detailed quotes provided after DFM review.
