USF Fabrication

What USF Fabrication does

USF Fabrication, Inc. is a US-based metal fabrication company that designs, manufactures, and distributes floor access doors, metal grating, and custom metal products for infrastructure and construction markets. The company was founded in 1916 in Miami (originally as the 7th Street Bicycle Repair and Welding Company) and is now a subsidiary of Eagle Manufacturing Group, family-controlled through four generations of the DeBogory family. Operations are organized into four divisions (Aluminum Floor Access Door, Steel Fabrication, Steel Grating, and Rolling) across two manufacturing facilities in Hialeah, Florida (83,000 sq ft) and Ogden, Utah (85,000 sq ft), with company-claimed total manufacturing footprint exceeding 200,000 sq ft.

The product portfolio centers on aluminum and steel floor access doors rated for pedestrian (300 psf), H20 occasional, H20 direct, and 280 psi aircraft loading, with specialty variants for floodtight, gastight, fire-rated (NFPA 288/ASTM E119), security reservoir, transit emergency egress, and architectural recessed applications. Adjacent lines include utility vault doors, basin covers, fall-through protection systems (integrated safety grates and OSHA-compliant nets), pump station accessories (ladders, hoists, guide rail brackets, pump tubes), DOT-approved metal grating approved by eight state Departments of Transportation, and custom fabrication services (CNC cutting, shearing, punching, rolling, bending, OEM tanks). The 2025 launch of electrically actuated doors with Bluetooth remote control is the most recent product extension.

USF Fabrication sells exclusively through a distributor network across the United States and Canada and never bypasses distributors to sell direct. Regional sales managers (West, Central, Northeast, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic) and customer account specialists support channel partners that specify USF products into utility, DOT, architectural, OEM, and transit infrastructure projects. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; volume discounts exist (5% on orders of six or more standard-size aluminum doors). Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company maintains an engineering resource website featuring a proprietary Drawing Wizard for custom door specification, O&M manuals, submittal documents, and cross-reference charts.

Direct peers

• The Bilco Company: Direct competitor manufacturing floor access doors, roof hatches, and basement doors. Bilco's product line directly overlaps with USF's aluminum and steel floor access door portfolio and is referenced in USF's own cross-reference charts, confirming head-to-head competitive overlap across utility, architectural, and transportation segments.
• Nystrom Products: Manufacturer of floor access doors, roof hatches, smoke vents, and entrance mats. Overlaps with USF's aluminum and steel floor access door lines and competes in the same specifier-driven, architectural and utility channels.
• Babcock-Davis: Manufacturer of access doors, roof hatches, and fall protection products for commercial construction. Directly competes with USF's architectural access doors and fall-through protection systems in the specifier and contractor channel.
• Acudor Products: Specialty manufacturer of access doors and panels for commercial, industrial, and utility applications. Overlaps with USF's utility vault, architectural, and steel access door offerings across similar channels.
• Halliday Products: Manufacturer of floor access doors, hatches, and fall-protection covers including gas-resistant and floodtight variants. Halliday's gas-resistant line directly competes with USF's W-AHS/W-APS watertight/gastight aluminum doors and is referenced in USF's cross-reference documentation.
• Ohio Gratings: Manufacturer of bar grating, expanded metal, and safety grating for industrial and transportation infrastructure. Directly comparable to USF's Steel Grating Division across DOT-approved H-20 and heavy-load grating applications.

Broad incumbents

• McNichols: Broad-line metal products distributor and manufacturer offering grating, perforated metal, expanded metal, and wire mesh. Overlaps with USF's grating and fabricated metal products but operates a much broader catalog with significant distribution focus.
• EJ (East Jordan Iron Works): Large diversified manufacturer of infrastructure access solutions, including utility access products, gratings, and fabricated metal components. EJ's utility access and grating lines overlap with USF's products while operating at much larger scale across municipal and DOT segments.
