Mechanical engineering, fabrication, conveyors, platforms, controls, and finishing—designed, welded, wired, painted, and run-tested under one roof in Birmingham, Alabama. Backed by a machine builder that's engineered precision equipment since 1948.
No catalog parts, no off-the-shelf compromises. Tell us the job—we engineer and fabricate it to your floor, your loads, and your line.

In-house mechanical engineers design it, model it, and run the numbers—load calcs, fits, tolerances, and safety—so what we build works the first time, not the third.

Cut, formed, machined, and welded steel for whatever your application demands. Structural weldments, frames, guarding, and one-off assemblies—made right.

Engineered handling solutions that move product through your process—transfer tables, indexers, accumulation, and custom automation built for your throughput.

Belt, roller, chain, and custom conveyor systems—sized, fabricated, and integrated for the product you're running and the space you've got.

Hydraulic power units, pump skids, and lube and fluid systems built as drop-in packages—fabricated base, mechanical assembly, piping, and controls, all on one frame. Set it down, bolt it to the floor, and run.

Work platforms, mezzanines, crossovers, catwalks, stairs, and guardrail—safe, code-conscious access engineered to fit your equipment and your space.

Heavy-duty industrial carts, dollies, and transport fixtures built to your dimensions, payload, and shop layout—not whatever the supplier had in stock.

Precision embed plates, plate washers, anchor assemblies, and structural weldments fabricated to print—flat, square, and ready for the field.

Panel build, PLC and HMI programming, wiring, and on-machine integration from an in-house controls team—so the iron and the intelligence ship together.

Turn-key safety, start to finish. We assess your equipment, identify the gaps, then design, build, and install the fix ourselves—guarding, light curtains, interlocks, and e-stop circuits brought to current safety standards by the shop that builds the machines.

Bring tired equipment back to life—mechanical rebuilds, drive upgrades, and modern controls retrofits that extend the life of the machines you already own.

Surface prep, blasting, priming, and industrial coatings—equipment leaves protected and finished, not raw steel that rusts on the dock.
If it's steel, it's custom, and it's industrial—odds are we build it. Tell us what you need.
Every Bham Iron build comes out of a Birmingham machine shop that's been engineering and fabricating precision industrial equipment since 1948—Innovative Machine Corporation. That's seventy-five years of designing, machining, and shipping custom equipment, not a startup learning on your job.
So your conveyor, your cart, or your rebuild doesn't get jobbed out to the lowest bidder. It's designed, machined, welded, and wired under one roof by the same crew that builds precision coating and converting lines for research labs, defense contractors, and industrial manufacturers—pointed at getting your job done fast and done right.
A straight line from your problem to a working machine on your floor—no layers, no runaround.
Send a print, a sketch, or just a problem. We talk loads, space, and timeline, then come back with a clear quote.
Our engineers model it, run the numbers, and confirm fit, function, and safety before a single cut is made.
Cut, formed, machined, welded, and—when it's powered—wired and programmed in-house. One vendor, one accountable team.
Run-tested before it ships. We deliver, support installation, and stand behind what we build.
If your operation moves material or runs machinery, we've probably built for someone like you.
Send a print or a few sentences. You'll talk to people who actually build the thing—not a call center.
