Heavy equipment welding repair in Beech Grove, Indiana

On site welding, line boring and attachment repair. ZIP 46107. Call (463) 222-0589.

Greenwood Equipment Welding brings the welding truck to Beech Grove: generator, air arc gouging, torch set and a portable line boring machine, priced from the rates published on this site.

Beech Grove grew up around heavy repair. The Amtrak shops made this a town where rebuilding big equipment was the local trade, and the shops and yards along Emerson Avenue still run older machines that earn their keep through maintenance rather than replacement.

Older iron is good welding work. A 1990s dozer with a cracked C frame or a service truck with a rotted crane mount is usually worth a proper structural repair, and we build those repairs to outlast the original failure: gouge to clean metal, preheat where thickness calls for it, full penetration welds and a fish plate when the section needs help.

Sitting just over the county line, Beech Grove is inside our standard trip fee and usually a same week visit for scheduled work.

Why repairs fail twice in old iron

A lot of Beech Grove calls are second repairs, a weld someone laid over a dirty crack that opened right back up. Rewelding a failed repair costs more than the first repair should have, because the old weld has to come out before clean metal appears. It is the strongest argument we know for gouging to bright steel the first time.

Beech Grove repair questions

Is older equipment worth repairing instead of replacing?

Usually, if the frame is sound. A structural crack repair at $600 to $1,900 against a five figure replacement machine is easy math. We tell you plainly when a machine has reached the point where cracks will keep chasing the repairs.

Can you weld on truck mounted cranes and service bodies?

Mount cracks, outrigger boxes and body repairs, yes. Anything affecting a crane rated load path gets repaired to be inspectable, and we recommend a recertification inspection after structural crane work.

Do you come inside I-465?

Beech Grove and the near southeast side, yes, at the standard trip fee. Deeper into the city is quoted case by case when you call.
