Bulk Material Handling & Industrial Systems — Milwaukee Metal Fabrication
Fabricated Conveyors, Hoppers and Assemblies for Material Handling Systems
Long conveyor structures, hoppers, transfer tanks and equipment frames for systems that move material continuously — built to the drawing and sequenced to hold alignment at length.
What We Build in This Market
What We Build for Bulk Material Handling and Industrial Systems
Long conveyor structures, hoppers, transfer tanks and equipment frames for systems that move material continuously — built to the drawing and sequenced to hold alignment at length.
Telescoping Conveyor Structures
Long truss and rail weldments where sections nest and extend, and alignment has to hold across the full travel.
Transfer Tanks & Material Handling Weldments
Tanks, hoppers and handling weldments fabricated to drawing, including abrasion-resistant plate where the material demands it.
Custom Equipment Frames & Assemblies
Frames and mechanical assemblies that carry the system, built as complete scope rather than individual cut or formed parts.

Material Handling Jobs We’ve Completed
Real fabrication work from our shop floor in this market.
Built for These Jobs
Scale and Process Control for Material Handling Work
Capacity & Equipment
Parts and structures to 20,000 lb, lengths to 60 feet, certified welders across all major processes, and on-site CNC machining for mounting faces and critical tolerances.
Finishing & Full Assembly
Full assembly completed in-house. We offer sandblasting, painting, powder coating, plating, and galvanizing, so equipment leaves ready for the field.
Why CEF
Built for Long Structures and Changing Requirements
Medium to large parts and mechanical assemblies where cutting, forming, welding, machining, and finishing all have to come together on one program.
- ISO 9001:2015 certified — quality system documented through every operation
- Laser, plasma, oxy-fuel flame, shearing, production sawing, miter sawing, and cold sawing in-house
- Press brake forming, bending, bump forming, and plate rolling on-site
- Certified welders across a full range of metals including aluminum, high-alloy steel, and nickel-based alloys
- On-site CNC machining for precision bores, drilled surfaces, and critical tolerances
- Full assembly in-house, with finishing services including sandblasting, painting, powder coating, plating, and galvanizing
- Fabrication capabilities and inspection services built to meet the requirements of demanding programs
- In business since 1990 — Milwaukee, WI
