North Bay Truck Center called me out to remove the fuel tank sending unit from a damaged tank, to a Doner tank that does not have a sending unit.

Croz Repairs Car Transporter Ramp at North Bay Truck Center








I was called to North Bay Truck Center to repair a ramp on a Car Transporter where the Pin had failed using the parts from a non matching ramp. I had to literally dissect both ramps. To salvage the ramp and remove the failed pin, and to get to the pin on the doner ramp to be used on the original ramp.

It's all pretty standard but sometimes it just takes longer to to complete than others!

  • Platform construction and repairs including redesigning and or replacement

Fusion Welding Schedule 10 304 Stainless Steel Requires Skill and Focus







One of my clients secured a larger shop and is in the process of moving his equipment to the new location. This doesn’t stop the need to stay on track on current projects. 

This job is over 4,000 ft. of various sizes of Schedule 10 304 stainless steel piping and fittings. Here I am doing 'Fusion Welding' where the joints are welded (fused) together without the use of adding filler rod. This requires carefully controlled conditions where the heat (amps) and speed (travel) must be in perfect balance to allow the arc to penetrate the two seams to form an internal bead without blowing a hole or causing the joint to suck back and become concave. A positioner helps to control the rotation speed. These are 2 ½” and 3” Tee fittings that get a 1 ½” threaded fitting attached to them.

As you can see, there is much to do here and a lot of focused, careful, and precise welding.


EXPERTISE:
  • Commercial Work, Classic restorations, Custom Exhaust, Frames, Structural welding
  • Small to large scale piping jobs that operate under high pressure and temperature service, sanitary welding
  • Platform construction and repairs including redesigning and or replacement
  • Custom fabrication of guards, handrails, safety covers, and shields to comply with OSHA and Cal OSHA regulations.
  • Overlay and weld build-up using Stellite and other hard-facing Alloys.

Like Rolling Off A... Dumpster? Who Knows What I Will Be Welding Next?

 




Even roll-off dumpsters wear out or rust through. Replacing them is quite costly, but refurbishing them with some creative welding extends the life of the dumpster at a fraction of the cost. These are some shots from many years ago refurbishing some dumpsters for a local refuse company. It's always interesting what I will be welding next.
