We design and manufacture heavy-duty base frames engineered for tugboats and workboats—built for high loads, durability, and precise machinery alignment.
Base frames form the structural foundation for engines, gearboxes, gensets, and auxiliary machinery, directly influencing alignment stability, vibration behavior, and long-term reliability. For tugboats and workboats—where duty cycles are harsh and loads are high—frame stiffness, welding quality, and dimensional accuracy are critical. We provide design support and production of custom base frames tailored to vessel layout, machinery specifications, mounting requirements, and class/yard expectations. Our approach focuses on structural integrity, serviceability, and maintaining drivetrain geometry throughout operation.
