At Alloy Engineering, we manufacture standard and custom trays, fixtures, baskets and grids for every industrial application. Our products are made to withstand the harshest furnace and chemical environments. From annealing to pickling, plating and more, if you need trays, fixtures, baskets or grids, we can fabricate them to spec contact us to learn more or request a quote.

Every basket, tray, and fixture is designed around the application, including load, operating temperature, atmosphere, handling requirements, and chemical exposure. Alloy Engineering works with stainless steels, nickel-based alloys, and other heat- and corrosion-resistant materials to help maximize service life and reduce replacement frequency.

Types of Baskets, Trays & Fixtures

Pressure Welded Rod Frame Baskets

Built with a welded rod construction designed to minimize distortion through repeated thermal cycles, making these baskets well suited to demanding furnace and cleaning applications.

Fabricated Serpentine Trays

The winding, serpentine layout can promote even heat and airflow distribution, which is especially useful for elongated, coiled, or irregularly shaped parts moving through annealing or tempering.

Hybrid Baskets

Customized combinations of red, mesh, plate or structural sections, giving parts firm support where needed while still allowing airflow or liquid drainage where it matters.

Woven Alloy Mesh Basket Liners and Part Dividers

Fine woven mesh liners and dividers keep small parts separated and prevent tangling or nesting, while still allowing media, air, or liquid to pass through during plating or pickling.

Custom Fabricated Heat Treat Fixtures

Built to spec for unique part geometries, these fixtures keep components correctly positioned throughout the furnace cycle for consistent, repeatable results.

Corrugated Heat-Treat Baskets/Boxes

The ribbed, corrugated design adds structural strength for bulk part loading and repeated handling without adding excess weight.

Pickling Racks

Engineered to hold parts securely during acid pickling and cleaning, these racks are built from materials chosen to resist chemical corrosion over repeated cycles.

Flower Petal Trays

The petal-shaped layout supports radial loading, commonly used for round or cylindrical parts that need even, consistent heat exposure.
