Why plants pick us over the shop down the road

Fast, easy, always available, and backed in writing.

A gearbox down is lost production every hour. Four things decide who you call, so we built the whole shop around them.

Speed

Emergency teardown starts the day your unit lands. We cut our own gears in house, so we are not waiting on anyone else's lead time. Plants have gone from down to running in 48 hours.

Ease

One call and we handle it. Free shipping both ways, free teardown and inspection, and a written quote before any work starts. No freight to arrange, no surprise invoice.

Availability

24/7 emergency line, answered by our own people. We are a Texas shop serving plants nationwide, so distance is a freight question, not a service question.

Trust

Family owned for over 20 years, 2026 Quality Business Award winner with a quality rating over 95%, and every rebuild carries up to a 24 month workmanship warranty.

How a rebuild works

Four steps from failed to running.

01

Pickup and inspection

Free pickup and delivery, even rigging and crating on the heavy units. We tear down, sand blast, clean, and magnaflux every gear and shaft. The inspection is free.

02

Quote with no surprises

You get a clear, honest quote. If it only needs a seal and a bearing, we tell you. We do not sell overhauls you do not need.

03

Rebuild stronger than OEM

Gears manufactured new, journals reground to size, OEM bearings, new seals, recut keyways, then heat treat, carburize, or flame harden as needed.

04

Test run and up to a 24 month warranty

Every unit is test run before it ships. The work carries an up to 24 month warranty against chipping, flaking, peeling, and wear.

No risk to you

Why there is no reason to call OEM first.

Save

Up to 50% off OEM

There is no need to pay 100% of OEM purchase price. We can save you up to half on a complete overhaul, and we routinely rebuild units that other shops had written off.

Free

Shipping and inspection

Free shipping both ways and a free inspection on every job. You see the real condition before you commit to anything.

Backed

up to a 24 month warranty

A 24 month workmanship warranty against chipping, flaking, peeling, and wear. Rebuilt to outlast the original.

24/7

Emergency turnaround

Line down at 2am? We pick up. Rush rebuilds in days, not weeks, when time is the thing that matters most.

"From my first call, the staff was transparent and professional. Andrew provided top notch service and clear communication. They quickly diagnosed my swing motors and offered a fair price. An honest, trustworthy, locally owned shop. I would not trust anyone else with my gear boxes."

"A gearbox went out on searchlights for a major Chicago holiday event. I needed it back in a couple weeks and could not get a new one for three. Andrew and the team rebuilt the parts and had it back to me in 5 days. Quick turnaround and great service."

"Our big Falk gearbox failed and was about to shut down the whole production line. We called at 2am and they actually picked up and started helping right away. They got the parts fast and had the gearbox running. They saved us from a huge shutdown."

"We have used them for 6 years for everything from conveyor drives to dryer reducers. They always understand how important time is and come through with solid rebuilt equipment we can count on. They are not just a vendor, they are a business partner we rely on."

"They produced gears for me within two weeks that I needed to keep production going, and before the estimated time. Andrew communicated well the whole way. I appreciate good companies and they definitely are one. Big shout out to the team."

"Moving a 5000 pound gearbox is a nightmare, but they handled the crating and special rigging too. It made the whole repair way easier on our team. They took care of everything start to finish, a full turnkey deal."

Gearbox makes we rebuild every week

We rebuild PIV, Davis-Standard, Cleveland Gear, Lufkin, Browning, Nord, Sterling, Lightnin and Camco units, plus Philadelphia Gear, Western Gear, Amarillo Gear, Falk, Marley and Horsburgh & Scott drives. If the nameplate is gone, we reverse engineer it.

Who we serve

Built for the industries that cannot stop.

Oil & Refining

Drilling, refineries, and chemical plants. The two largest refineries in the United States by capacity sit on the Texas Gulf Coast, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Pump drives, reducers, and rotating equipment rebuilt to keep that throughput up.

Mining & Aggregate

Sand and gravel, quarries, stone crushing, and gypsum. Dragline gears, crusher drives, and heavy reducers.

Power & Paper

Power plants, paper mills, and steel. Dryer gears, conveyor drives, and high load reducers rebuilt stronger than OEM.
