Industries We Support
Different sectors, the same underlying problem: a worn or broken component that needs to go back into service quickly and without a catalogue part number to order.
Our customers range from one-man groundworks outfits to maintenance teams on production sites, and the work has more in common than you might expect. In almost every case something has worn out or broken on equipment that is too valuable to scrap and too old to be well supported by whoever built it.
What changes between sectors is urgency, material and tolerance. A tipper ram needs to be back on the road tomorrow. A stainless assembly for a process plant needs clean welds and a sealing face machined after welding. Below is how that plays out across the industries we see most.
Excavator, loader and telehandler rams take a beating, and a leaking cylinder takes an expensive machine off hire. We strip, assess and rebuild plant cylinders quickly, and machine the parts we need rather than waiting on a catalogue.
Farm equipment tends to be older, harder worked and further from a dealer than anything else we see. Much of it is out of production entirely, which makes remaking a part from the worn original the only realistic option.
For a maintenance team, the problem is rarely knowing what is wrong — it is getting the part. We work as external machining capacity for production sites, making spares, fixtures and replacement components on short lead times.
Stainless work needs proper preparation, controlled heat input and clean welds, then machining after welding so flanges still seal. Our TIG work and machining sit in the same workshop, which is what makes that practical.
Tipping rams, body mounts and worn pivot points are bread-and-butter work. A trailer off the road earns nothing, so these jobs get prioritised and turned round as fast as the parts allow.
Plenty of our work comes from other engineering businesses who need a specific operation done — a bore sleeved, a thread recut, a batch of flanges milled — without buying the machine to do it themselves.
Whatever the sector, the work comes down to the same set of capabilities.
Strip-down, assessment and rebuild of hydraulic cylinders and rams, from single-acting tipping rams to bespoke multi-port cylinders.

Read moreTurning, boring, facing and thread cutting on manual lathes — the fastest route to a one-off shaft, bush, rod or flange.
Read moreTIG and MIG welding on stainless and mild steel, from hydraulic pipework and manifold assemblies to structural repair and bespoke fabrication.
Read moreWorn and damaged components restored to serviceable condition, typically at a fraction of the cost of buying new.
Read moreThe industry matters far less than the component. If it is metal, worn, and needs to work again, it is worth a phone call.
