From skid frames to ground plate

Power & Generator Skid Frames

Structural W-beam and heavy-plate skid bases for power integration ā€” welded, stress-relieved, machined flat, and galvanized or coated to your specification.

Equipment Platforms & Gen Pads

Heavy equipment platforms, generator pads, and support structures built to carry critical electrical and mechanical gear.

E-House & Enclosure Steel
Structural steel and base frames for e-houses, power distribution centers, and modular enclosures.
Automation & Machine Bases
Precision-machined bases and frames for automation integrators ā€” a core Anchor Danly product for decades.
Custom Ground Steel Plate

Blanchard-ground and precision-ground plate from 3/8″ to 16″ thick, cut, blasted, and finished to spec.

Build-to-Print Fabrications

Large, complex weldments ā€” welded, stress-relieved, machined, and inspected with full documentation.

Why Anchor Danly

Built for speed, finished in-house

Most skid fabricators weld, then send parts out for machining. We weld, Blanchard grind, and precision machine under one roof, so your skids arrive flat, finished, and ready for integration.

While much of the fabrication market is backlogged, we have open capacity and one of the most responsive quoting teams in the industry.

With about 4,000 tons of steel in stock and direct purchasing from domestic mills, we control material availability and lead time ā€” including domestic-melt requirements.

Facilities across the U.S. Midwest and Northeast put us close to major data-center builds ā€” fewer freight miles and permit loads for heavy structural steel.
