We build custom steel solutions for fixed and mobile equipment across the intermountain region

Shovel Story

We often replace the steel components in the big shovels that haul dirt for mines when the metal parts wear out. One time, someone parked a Komatsu shovel too close to a wall and it collapsed. It took out the safety cage on one side and caused a total equipment shutdown. We sent one of our guys over right away to measure the shovel and made a new one with harder steel. When that part finally wore out, we pulled up the specs we marked down the first time and made it all over again – with some measurement adjustments from the customer. Every time we rebuild a shovel, it’s a custom job because no two parts are ever alike.

Scrap Shredder Story

We get hired by recycling companies to replace and repair their shredding screens inside their scrap shredders all the time. One company hired us to fix a screen where the blades wore a hole clean through it. In order to get the scraps the right size, they had to run everything through the machine at least twice. But when they asked for a quote for a new screen from the manufacturer, they said it would take 20 weeks. We got it done in one. And, by using tougher metal, we extended the screen life by about 30%. After they knew there was a local company that could do a quicker, better job, they started coming to us a lot.
