Metal Fabrication & Heavy Machinery Factory in Malaysia: Specs to Look For
Key takeaways
- We shortlist metal fabrication factories from at least 500 A three-phase power and 5 tonnes per square metre floor loading.
- An overhead crane, or a structure that can take one, saves time on every heavy lift.
- Check the land use and zoning allow your process before you negotiate price.
- Work out your heaviest machine load with the floor loading calculator.
Starting specs we shortlist from
| What | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Power supply | From 500 A three phase; more for large presses, furnaces or many welding sets |
| Floor loading | From 5 t/m²; check machine foundations separately |
| Ceiling height | High enough for an overhead crane and long material |
| Other | Overhead crane, wide doors, yard for steel storage, suitable zoning |
These are FactoryHub's shortlisting starting points, not legal or engineering requirements. Confirm power, floor loading and approvals with your own engineer before you commit.
Check before you sign
- Zoning and land use that allow metal fabrication in the area.
- Floor and foundations for presses and heavy CNC machines.
- Overhead crane capacity and clear height, or a structure that can take a crane.
- Door width and yard space for long steel and trailers.
- Environmental approvals for fumes, noise and waste.

About Peter →FAQ
What floor loading does a metal fabrication factory need?
Heavy presses and stock racks often need more than a standard factory floor. We start from 5 t/m², but machines with their own foundations need an engineer to check. Use the floor loading calculator for your heaviest machine.
Can I run metalworks in any industrial area?
No. Heavier processes need land use and zoning that allow them, and may need environmental approvals. Check this with the local authority before you commit.
How are these factories chosen?
They are live FactoryHub listings that state at least 500 A of power and 5 t/m² of floor loading. Factories with cranes are listed separately. Both are a starting shortlist, not a guarantee that a unit suits your process.
