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.

"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."
