About Our Services

Brothers Fabrication is a full-service metal fabrication shop focused on custom mobile business builds. While food trucks are the specialty, the crew also fabricates commercial kitchens, bars, seacans, signs, and architectural metalwork. Every project begins with a conversation about your concept, budget, and timeline. The team then translates that vision into engineered drawings and material specifications. Because the shop has certified trades on staff, complex mechanical, plumbing, and electrical work is done in-house—no subcontracted guesswork.

Daily operations revolve around GMAW (MIG) and GTAW (TIG) welding, precision sheet metal cutting, and stainless steel finishing. The fabricators work with aluminum, carbon steel, and stainless steel, choosing the right material for each application. A food truck, for example, demands stainless steel surfaces for food contact areas and corrosion-resistant framing for the chassis. The crew also understands the importance of weight distribution and ventilation, factors that affect both safety and fuel efficiency. From the initial frame extension to the final graphic wrap prep, the process is managed under one roof.

Clients who work with Brothers Fabrication get more than a welded structure. They get a partner who sources specialized components—like commercial-grade hood vents, water tanks, and refrigeration units—and integrates them correctly. The result is a mobile kitchen that operates efficiently, complies with provincial regulations, and lasts through thousands of service hours. The 4.9-star rating reflects an emphasis on finishing the job right, not just finishing it fast.

Our Services

Brothers Fabrication offers a range of metal fabrication and mobile business construction services. Each project is customized to the client's menu, workflow, and branding requirements.

Custom Food Truck Design & Fabrication

We build food trucks from the frame up, including body fabrication, interior layout, and equipment installation. The design process accounts for cooking equipment placement, ventilation, plumbing, and electrical load. Every truck is built to meet Alberta Health and Safety standards. The result is a fully functional mobile kitchen ready for inspection and operation.

Mobile Business Fabrication

Beyond food trucks, we fabricate mobile bars, retail trailers, beverage carts, and other wheeled business concepts. The team has experience converting imported vehicles, like the Piaggio Apé, into licensed mobile bars. We handle custom metalwork, plumbing, and electrical wiring for any mobile business model. Your concept drives the design, and we engineer the build to match.

Commercial Kitchen Builds

For restaurants, breweries, and catering companies, we construct commercial kitchens, bar counters, and stainless steel prep stations. The fabrication includes heavy-duty welding, polished surfaces, and integration with existing gas and water lines. These installations are built to withstand high-volume use and regular sanitation. We can also modify existing kitchen layouts to improve workflow.

Metal Fabrication & Welding

Our core service is custom metal fabrication using MIG, TIG, and stick welding processes. We work with aluminum, carbon steel, and stainless steel. Projects include structural frames, staircases, railings, seacans, and architectural metalwork. No job is too small—we have fabricated everything from custom speaker boxes to industrial equipment mounts.

Gas Fitting & Plumbing

Licensed Red Seal plumbers and gasfitters on our team handle propane line installations, natural gas connections, and water system plumbing for food trucks and commercial spaces. We size and install gas lines for cooking appliances, water heaters, and fryers according to code. Proper gas fitting is critical for safety and insurance compliance, and we ensure every connection is pressure-tested and certified.

Electrical Services

A master electrician oversees all electrical work, from panel wiring to lighting and appliance circuits. We design electrical systems that manage generator load, battery banks, and shore power connections. The wiring is routed to prevent heat damage and vibration failure. Whether you need a simple outlet installation or a full truck rewire, we handle it in-house.

Benefits of Professional Food Truck Fabrication

Investing in a professionally fabricated food truck pays off in reliability, safety, and customer perception. A well-built truck reduces the risk of mechanical failures that can shut down your business during peak hours. The right materials and welding techniques prevent corrosion and structural fatigue, extending the vehicle's usable life. When you choose a builder with certified trades, you also avoid the costly rework often required when general contractors attempt food truck builds.

A custom-built truck is designed around your specific menu and workflow. This means faster service times, less staff fatigue, and better food quality. The layout accounts for the sequence of food preparation, cooking, and plating, with equipment placed to minimize movement. Proper ventilation and fire suppression systems keep your team safe and your insurance premiums manageable. Ultimately, a professional build is an asset that holds its value if you decide to sell or expand your fleet.

• Reduced Downtime — Quality fabrication and components mean fewer leaks, electrical shorts, and structural issues.
• Regulatory Compliance — Licensed trades ensure your truck meets Alberta's gas, electrical, and health codes from day one.
• Better Workflow — A custom layout tailored to your menu speeds up service and reduces staff fatigue.
• Higher Resale Value — A well-documented, professionally built truck commands a higher price on the resale market.
• Brand Differentiation — Unique design elements and high-quality finishes make your truck stand out and attract customers.
• Long-Term Cost Savings — Avoiding repairs and code violations saves money over the life of the truck.
