Heavy Equipment Welding in Nashville and Middle Tennessee

Heavy Equipment Welding

Frames, booms, buckets, counterweights and attachments on construction and industrial machines repaired to work again.

Heavy machines are built from thick plate and high-strength steel, and repairing them is not like welding a gate. Correct procedures, preheat and filler selection matter because a poor repair on a boom or frame can crack again quickly under load.

We repair cracked frames, boom welds, stick and arm cracks, bucket linkages and attachment mounts on excavators, loaders, dozers and similar machines. We work to the manufacturer repair guidance you provide where it exists and advise honestly when a part needs dealer attention.

Preheat and procedure

Thick, high-strength steel can crack if welded cold. We preheat, control interpass temperature and use filler suited to the material.

Reinforcement of weak points

Equipment tends to crack at the same places repeatedly. We reinforce those areas so the same failure does not recur.

Know the limits

Some critical structure needs dealer or engineering approval. We tell you when that is the case instead of guessing.

Records and dealer coverage

Welding on a machine under dealer coverage can affect that coverage. Check with the dealer before authorizing welding on any machine still covered, and keep records of repairs.

Questions

Heavy Equipment FAQ

Can you repair a cracked excavator boom?

Often. It depends on the location and the manufacturer guidance. We assess the crack and tell you what is appropriate.

Do you follow manufacturer repair procedures?

We follow the procedures you provide and advise when a repair needs dealer approval.

Can you work on a machine on a job site?

Yes. We come to the machine, with a safe setup and clear access around it.

How do you prevent repeat cracks?

By finding the cause, preparing the joint properly and adding reinforcement where the crack started.

Will welding affect my dealer coverage?

It can. Ask your dealer before welding a machine under coverage, and keep records of any repair.
