5 Signs Your Project Needs a Custom Fabricator, Not a Big-Box Supplier

Custom Attachments for Tractors and Excavators: Built Right, Built Local

If you run equipment in Pierce County, you already know the problem: the attachment you need doesn't exist off the shelf, or the one that does exist is priced for a rental fleet, not a working farm or job site. Stock attachments are built for the average operator doing average work. Most of the guys we talk to in Graham, Puyallup, and Tacoma aren't doing average work. They're clearing stumps on steep ground, moving irrigation pipe through mud, or digging footings next to a foundation with six inches of clearance. That's where custom fabrication earns its keep.

Equipment Down? Here's How We Repair Trailers, Trucks, and Heavy Equipment in Pierce County

When a trailer, work truck, or piece of heavy equipment goes down, the clock starts running immediately. A cracked hitch on a landscaping trailer, a snapped boom mount on an arborist truck, a busted bucket pin on an excavator, a cracked frame on a tractor, every hour that machine sits idle is an hour of lost work and lost revenue. At A&J Custom Metals in Graham, WA, equipment repair is one of the most common calls we get, and it's also one of the most time-sensitive.
