Pro-Line Industrial Services is a custom fabrication shop in Piketon, Ohio. The three things we build most are awnings for food trucks, custom fabrication in steel, aluminum and stainless, and aluminum handrails.

Awnings are the job we get asked for most. A food truck or a concession trailer needs a fold-down or a fixed awning that fits that truck, clears the serving window, takes wind, and folds up for the road. We build it here in steel or aluminum, to the truck, and we fit it. Cincinnati and Columbus food trucks are a large share of that work.

Custom fabrication is the rest of the floor: a bracket nobody makes, a bumper package for a work truck, a frame, a rack, a guard, a part reverse engineered from the broken one you send a photo of. Cut, formed, welded and finished in one building, in steel, aluminum or stainless, from a drawing, a CAD file or a phone photo.

Aluminum handrails are the third line. Commercial buildings, stair runs and mezzanines, measured on site, fabricated in the shop and installed by us. Handrails, gates and fences are the one category where a home address is welcome.

Behind those three sits a job shop with precision tapping and machining, 3D CAD modeling and printing, sandblasting, truck and trailer bodies, pipe welding and millwright work when a customer needs it. The shop is open 24 hours, seven days, so a truck that has to be back on the road by Friday can come in on Tuesday night.

What we build

Awnings, handrails, bumpers, kits and custom fabrication first, because that is what this shop is known for. The plant and field trades are still here, listed after them.

Food truck awnings
Fold-down and fixed awnings for food trucks and concession trailers, built to the truck and fitted here.
Custom fabrication
One-off parts, frames, racks and guards in steel, aluminum or stainless, to your drawing, your CAD file or a photo of the broken one.
Aluminum handrails
Commercial rails, stair runs and guardrails, measured on site, fabricated in the shop and installed by us.
Custom bumper packages
Front and rear bumpers for work trucks, built heavier than anything in a catalog and fitted to your truck.
Products and kits
Fabricated kits and finished products you can order, pick up or have shipped, and finish or weld yourself.
Truck and trailer modifications
Service bodies, dump bodies, decks and structural repair, for fleets that need the truck back rather than replaced.
Custom gates and fences
Made and installed in steel or aluminum, for businesses and for homes.
Precision tapping and machining
Threading and machined features held to the print, on new parts and on parts that have already been damaged.
3D CAD modeling and 3D printing
Model the part first, print a check piece, then cut steel once. The cheapest place to find a mistake is on a screen.
Light industrial sandblasting
Surface preparation ahead of coating or repair, so what goes on the metal actually stays on the metal.
Pipe welding
Process and utility pipe, welded on site or fabricated in the shop and brought in ready to set.
On-site fabrication
Cutting, welding and fitting done at your facility, for the work that cannot leave the floor.
Industrial maintenance
Plant equipment kept running, in the window you have, with the fabrication shop standing behind it.
Millwright services
Machine setting, alignment and installation, when a customer of the shop needs it.
Mechanical services
Mechanical repair and installation for commercial and industrial equipment.

Built to your drawing, your photo or your truck

Most of what we build starts as a phone photo. A food truck that needs an awning, a stair run that needs a rail, a work truck that needs a bumper heavier than the catalog one. We measure it, model it if it needs modeling, cut it, weld it, finish it and fit it, and we say up front if steel or aluminum is the better call for where it is going.

Steel

Structural, plate and tube. The default for strength and for anything that has to take a hit.

Aluminum

Where weight matters, on truck bodies, decks and racks, and where corrosion is the enemy.

Stainless

Where the surface has to survive washdown, chemicals or food and process environments.

Work off our own floor

Every photograph of our own work on this site is exactly that. Where a page shows a reference image instead, it is labeled. This one is a steel handrail, measured on site, fabricated in Piketon and set in place at a commercial entrance.

What we take, and what we do not

Farm work.

Farm and agricultural repair is not something we take on anymore. Fleet trucks, trailers and commercial equipment, yes.

Home improvement work.

Decks, remodels and general handyman jobs are not what this shop is for. Awnings, handrails, gates and fences are the exception and we build those for anyone.

Guesses.

If a job is outside what we are set up to do well, we will tell you rather than take it and disappoint you halfway through.

Questions we get before the first quote

Is Pro-Line really open 24 hours?

Yes, seven days. Industrial equipment does not fail politely inside business hours, and most plant work only has a window at night or over a weekend, so the shop runs around the clock.

Do you build awnings for food trucks?

Yes, and it is the job we build most. Fold-down and fixed awnings for food trucks and concession trailers, in steel or aluminum, built to your truck and fitted here in Piketon. Bring the truck, or send photos and the measurements and we will tell you what we need.

How does a job start?

You describe what you need on the job form, ideally with a photograph or a drawing, and a quote comes back. For a broken part a phone photo is usually enough for us to begin.

Where are you and how far do you travel?

The shop is at 1309 Jasper Road, Piketon, Ohio. We work in Columbus, Cincinnati, Portsmouth, Piketon and Chillicothe, and we are straight about what distance means for how fast we can reach you.

What materials do you work in?

Aluminum, steel and stainless.

Do you take residential work?

Awnings, handrails, gates and fences, yes, for anyone. Beyond those the work is commercial, industrial and fleet. A bumper on a work truck is work we want; a deck or a remodel is not, and we do not take farm work.

Can I buy a kit instead of a finished piece?

Yes. Some of what we build is available as a kit: the parts cut, formed and bundled, for you to weld or bolt up yourself. Ask on the products and kits page and we will tell you what is in stock and what has to be made.

Send us the job

Describe what you need built and we will send a quote back. Photographs and drawings help more than anything else, so the form takes uploads.
