Frequently Asked Questions
The fabrication of steel structures refers to bending, cutting, and assembling pieces of steel to create different products. The result may include industrial equipment, buildings, tools, and more. From standard steel structures to customized steel structures, our team can produce products to your specifications.
Fabrication refers to the process of producing products that are typically standardized through one or more individual processes. Examples of steel fabrication include cutting, bending, shearing, folding, stamping, machining, and assembling. Of the listed fabrication processes, cutting is the most common.
Steel is often classified into four groups:
alloys
stainless
tool
carbon.
Each has unique properties that make it ideal for specific applications. Our experienced team can guide you in the right direction based on your desired outcome to ensure your products are designed to last.
The answer to this question depends on the application. Vanadium steel alloys are known to be particularly strong. Martensitic steel is going to be the hardest, but it is often too brittle for most applications. Chromium is also known to be extremely hard, and it is a key ingredient in stainless steel. We can guide you toward a concrete answer when we know what the steel’s application will be!

The racks are very well made and doing well within our artisan baking process.

When asked if he would recommend SHOPCraft Colors to other people, Steve VandeWalle replied, “Yes, definitely. You can buy a cheaper rack anywhere else, but having a premium SHOPCraft rack with the anodized coating is well worth the money.

Thanks so much for getting the racks to me! They just disappeared (into production) as soon as they got here - they are really great. The only problem is that the wheels turn!!

We ordered the disposable bakery rack covers. They work great and the shipping time was super fast. Very satisfied and will reorder again. Great company!

I have enjoyed working with you and your company in the past several years. Your focus on customer service and the quality of your product far exceeds your competitors. I can always count on you to expedite my orders effectively and efficiently and many times I received my order sooner than I expected.

The pan carts look absolutely great! Really appreciate Eric driving them all the way down here. I think that's a first from any vendor we've ever dealt with! Really shows your guys' commitment to your customers.

HEAVY duty and solid. I wanted - and found - something that could stand up to lots of constant use. With its lifetime guarantee, I’ve kept our receipt, but I doubt I’ll need it more than to remind myself and others what a quality bargain we found.

After receiving a sample [of your donut racks], it was immediately clear that these were the racks for us. The choice of materials and the quality of construction exceeded my expectations. After ordering over 800 racks from [Schaumburg Specialties] over the last 10 years I wouldn't think of purchasing them from anyone else.

Racks fit perfectly. Appreciate the extremely fast shipping. The crew is rejoicing, this will make the rest of our production week so much more manageable!

Having never worked with Schaumburg Specialties before, when we moved into a new facility, we inherited a bunch of oven racks, and one far outlasted all the others. You could feel it was much studier and stronger than the ones we were used to using. That rack was made by Schaumburg Specialties, so we decided to call them and order several more.

A great partner that is always willing to assist in all of our project’s weather it is an item that has been fabricated 1,000 times or a brand-new concept that is a 001 build. The Team is very knowledgeable and one of our best vendors that I will continue to use on our projects. I can trust Joel and the Team to provide a very solid, robust piece of equipment and provide great field support etc...Also always willing to make it “ right.”

I bought this [rack] based on the video they made showing how strong it was. My cheapo China racks are rickety and these were shown to be a solution to those. I had some doubts when I opened the box, it didn't look like much unassembled. Once I got it together and everything tightened, it really is as strong as they described it to be. It's a good grade of aluminum too so the pans don't stick and scrape when we slide them onto the rack...
