Custom fabrication and welding shop at Loewen Forestry Equipment

Custom Shop Services

Built to Your Spec.

Our fabrication shop takes on custom builds, modifications, and one-off projects for logging contractors who need something the catalogue doesn't cover.

If You Can Spec It, We Can Build It

The Loewen custom shop is staffed by the same tradespeople who build our production equipment. That means your custom project gets the same steel, the same welds, and the same quality control as the equipment coming off our main line.

We work directly with contractors and operators to understand the job before we start cutting steel. Whether it's a purpose-built attachment, a machine modification, or a complete custom build, we'll give you a straight answer on what's possible and what it'll cost.
