HD Forklift Loader On-Site Repairs

 










Got a call from Drew at I-80 Forklift in Vacaville. They had a SkyTrak lift that ripped out a cylinder hub that stabilizes the boom. They purchased a complete weld in side plate but it wasn’t practical to utilize more than I needed for the repair. I cut out what I needed and used it as a template to replace the missing hub. I double beveled both sections for a full penetration weld.

The fascinating jobs just keep coming. I love them all.

I was called to a regular customer's place recently to remount these spiny wagon wheel connections that had broken loose from the tube frame. The supporting structure had to be rebuilt. The wheels are obviously just for show, but they require a solid connection.

Welding Sealing Rings On Two-Piece Containment Box

 





This is a two-piece containment box known as a Clamp designed to go over Valves, Flanges, etc. that are leaking on a system that cannot be shut down. The Machinist will bolt the clamp in place (over the leaking item) then start pumping in a high temp compound encapsulating the leak so they can run until the next shut down. Refineries mainly use these. I was called to weld the sealing rings that surround the pipe itself and the Box Seal at the separation point.

  • 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

Heavy Machinery Repairs To Keep The World Turning! Croz Custom Metal Fab Welding

 











This was an interesting job at the Recycling Zone in Fairfield. The Main pin on the Baler snapped and launched the main cylinder through the exterior wall. It bent and fractured the 2” thick plate as it twisted out of the pin bore. As a temporary repair (until a replacement plate could be fabricated) I Air Arced out the crack, prepped, and rewelded the plate so they could safely continue operating the machine.
