Walk into our fabrication facility on any given day and you’ll likely see something taking shape that is bigger than steel and welds. At BR Systems, every skid we build represents a promise: reliable, safe, high-performance equipment built to thrive in demanding industrial environments.


Our team doesn’t just assemble components and ship them out the door. We design and deliver fully integrated skid systems engineered for real-world operation. Whether it’s pumping systems, processing modules, chemical feed skids, or custom-engineered industrial equipment, our skids are built to handle serious work — day in and day out.


Because in our world, reliability isn’t a feature. It’s a requirement.


What Exactly Is an Industrial Skid?


BR Systems Industrial skid on a rugged steel platform in a warehouse, wrapped in green plastic. Metal framework, exposed pipes, and faint lighting overhead.

If you picture a rugged steel platform holding pumps, motors, piping, sensors, and control equipment — you’re right on track. A skid is a fully assembled, self-contained unit designed for plug-and-play installation in the field.


Think of it as a factory-ready system you can drop into place, hook up, and start running.


Our skids typically include:

  • Heavy-duty steel bases and structural framing

  • Pumps, motors, compressors, or process equipment

  • Piping and mechanical systems

  • Electrical integration and controls

  • Instrumentation and safety components

  • Tested, documented, and ready-to-operate assemblies


It’s turnkey performance — engineered, fabricated, and tested in-house so your field installation time stays lean and efficient.


Why Skid Systems Matter in Today’s Industrial World


Industrial plants across mining, energy, manufacturing, and water treatment are under constant pressure to increase uptime and stay safe while reducing installation costs.


Skid-based systems solve real-world challenges:

  • Reduced field labor and installation time

  • Consistent, repeatable quality

  • Fewer unknowns — tested before shipping

  • Easier transport, maintenance, and replacement

  • Improved safety and compliance

  • Scalable for expansion or modernization projects


For facilities that need dependable performance without construction delays or surprises, skids simply make sense.


Designed With Precision. Built With Pride.


Every project starts with engineering — not guesswork. We collaborate with plant owners, operators, and EPC partners to understand the demands of the system and the environment it will live in.


From detailed drawings to final torque checks, our fabrication team brings decades of field and shop experience to every weld, bolt, and alignment.


Real alignment — not “close enough.”


Real quality control — not check-the-box.


If it’s leaving our floor, we’re confident it will run the moment it hits yours.


A Few Things You’ll Notice in Our Shop


Look around our fabrication bays and you’ll see:

  • Large-format industrial vessels and piping assemblies

  • Massive pump systems being aligned and mounted

  • Welders and fabricators who take craftsmanship seriously

  • Equipment in every stage from prep to testing

  • Cranes and material handling infrastructure designed for heavy builds

  • Teams solving real problems together, not building in silos


The environment is busy but controlled, hardworking but thoughtful. Every component has a purpose, every piece of steel has a home.


Field-Focused Engineering: We Build What Works


We don’t design in a bubble. Our leadership and team come from industry and field experience — which means we design equipment that operators, maintenance crews, and control teams actually want to work with.

No over-complication. No fragile systems. Just durable, efficient, field-friendly solutions.

If a skid doesn’t make your operation better, easier, or safer — it’s not done yet.


Industries We Serve


Our skid systems support industries including:

  • Mining & minerals

  • Power generation

  • Industrial manufacturing

  • Chemical processing

  • Pulp & paper

  • Water & wastewater treatment

  • Energy & environmental systems


Wherever reliability and performance matter — that’s where our work lives.


Built in Minnesota. Running Everywhere.


From our facility in Minnesota, BR Systems projects ship across the region and beyond. We are proud of the craftsmanship that happens inside our walls — and even prouder when our equipment goes to work in plants, mills, and processing facilities across North America.


Local quality. National capability. Long-term results.
