07 Apr Why You Should Use Mobile Welding Services
Structural steel fabrication is a pretty complicated job that requires a wide range of knowledge to be completed to a high level. This level of detail is substantial because custom steel fabrication involves various processes such as cutting, machining, and casting. A steel fabricator may decide to use any of these depending on the specific nature of the job.
One of the most commonly used skills by steel fabrication companies is mobile welding. If you’re unsure how welding can benefit your project or are interested in the mobile welding services that Baker Steel Trading’s team can provide, continue reading this blog post.
What is Welding?
The majority of you reading this probably understand what welding is and how it can benefit projects in all manner of industries. However, it’s worth explaining the basics of this process again as it makes it easier to understand how to take full advantage of the benefits that coded welders can provide to your project.
Welding is a commonly used skill that involves fusing two pieces of material together using heat, melting the edges and then creating a solid join as the items cool down. Whilst our experienced fabrication team focuses on welding steel, it’s important to note that this fabrication process can also be used on other metals, thermoplastics and even some types of wood.

Tasks That Mobile Welders Can Help With
Mobile welding is when the process explained above is completed away from a workshop, being done remotely instead, at a location decided by both the welder and the customer. Baker Steel Trading’s team of coded welders can provide this service using techniques such as MIG welding and can help with a wide range of tasks, including the projects explained below.
Commercial Welding
Commercial and industrial projects tend to be larger and require a high level of accuracy and attention to detail. An example, such as the construction of a steel frame building, requires specialist mobile welding services, akin to those offered by Baker Steel Trading. Commonly, these services involve working with the following products:
Structural Steel
Coded welders can use structural steel welding techniques such as MIG and stick welding to fabricate steel beams, columns and channels. Plenty of commercial projects rely on the stability of structural steel to create a safe final product that can carry incredibly heavy loads, so choosing experienced welders is vital to use this material correctly.
Steel Gates
A smaller but no less important task that mobile welders can complete is to fabricate steel gates and use techniques such as arc welding steel to repair existing gates. Whether you want your gates to have a simple or intricate design, coded welding experts should be able to help you find the best solution for your needs.
Stairs and Railings
Similarly to gates and fences, steel staircases and railings are also commonly used in various properties, but particularly in commercial ones such as offices. This task often needs to be completed on-site, so mobile welders are the perfect point of contact. It’s worth keeping in touch with the mobile welding provider you choose, as any maintenance work will also need to be completed by qualified and experienced professionals.
Steelwork Maintenance
As explained above, mobile welders aren’t only valuable when it comes to the fabrication and installation of an item – they’re also able to provide any type of steelwork maintenance that you may require. Whether you need welding as part of planned maintenance or in an emergency situation, coded welders can provide essential services that can maintain the durability and safety of a property for years to come.
