Precision Chassis & Frame Manufacturing for Lawn, Garden, and Outdoor OEMs.
Built for the assembly line. Battle-tested in the field. Proven by industry leaders.
At Fraser Steel, we manufacture the structural components behind some of the most recognized turf, garden, and outdoor equipment platforms. From high-performance zero-turn mower frames to rugged utility vehicle (UTV) chassis, we specialize in high-volume, high-complexity, commercial-grade manufacturing for OEMs.
Core Expertise: Chassis & Structural Components
We bridge the gap between complex engineering and mass production. Our facility is optimized to handle the backbone of heavy-duty lawn and garden machinery.
- Zero-Turn Mower Frames: Expertly fabricated frames designed to withstand the high torque and vibration of commercial-grade mowing.
- UTV & Work Vehicle Chassis: Precision-engineered chassis components for utility platforms built to hold up under continuous load, vibration, and real-world abuse.
- Integrated Parts & Sub-Assemblies:
- Spacers
- Sleeve
- Axles
- Precision mounting brackets
- Roll cages
- Exhaust
- Bumpers
- Steering controls
- Structural supports that drop straight into your assembly line.
Why Leading OEMs Partner with Fraser Steel
- Proven Scalability: We are built for volume. By delivering thousands of precision frames on-time and on-spec for global leaders, we’ve proven we can ramp up production to match your growth, ensuring your chassis is never the bottleneck in your supply chain.
- Advanced Tubular Fabrication: Utilizing automated CNC laser cutting (featuring the largest fleet of tube cutters of any contract manufacturer in North America) and robotic welding systems, we are built for repeatability at volume, not one-off fabrication.
- Supply Chain Smarts: By consolidating chassis and frame production with a single specialized partner, OEMs reduce lead times and logistics costs. We understand the “Just-in-Time” requirements of modern assembly plants.
- Commercial-Grade Durability: Whether it is the ruggedness required for commercial landscaping or the precision required for residential zero-turns, our steel components are built for long service life in high-use applications.
Integrated Manufacturing, Built for Scale
All major processes are handled in-house to reduce variability and improve control.
- Laser tube cutting for complex geometries and tight tolerances
- CNC tube bending for repeatable structural components
- Robotic welding for consistent, high-volume output
- Machining, end forming, and finishing under one roof
This approach reduces lead times, improves quality, and lowers total program cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle heavy-gauge or “overbuilt” structural requirements?
Yes. We regularly manufacture components designed for high load, vibration, and long service life. Our processes and tooling are set up to handle heavier materials while maintaining repeatability at volume.
Does Fraser Steel sell direct to the public or offer replacement parts?
No. We are a Tier 1 contract manufacturer focused on high-volume OEM production. We do not sell individual machines, frames, or replacement components.
What is your typical production capacity for chassis and frames?
With North America’s largest fleet of CNC tube lasers and dedicated robotic welding cells, we are optimized for large-scale production runs and long-term contract manufacturing for national and global brands.
Do you provide in-house finishing and sub-assembly?
Yes. We handle cutting, bending, welding, machining, end forming, and sub-assembly in-house. This reduces handoffs, improves consistency, and allows us to deliver components ready for your assembly line.
Are you a U.S.-based chassis and frame manufacturer?
Yes. Fraser Steel operates out of Minnesota and supports OEMs across North America. Domestic manufacturing allows for tighter quality control, shorter lead times, and better alignment with JIT production schedules.
Can you support design for manufacturability (DFM) on chassis components?
Yes. Our engineering team works with OEMs to refine designs for production. This includes optimizing bend radii, material selection, and weld access to improve repeatability and reduce cost at scale.
