On-site machining & portable welding
When equipment is too big to move, or too important to sit idle, we bring the machining and welding to you.
Why repair in place?
In many cases it's more practical and economical to repair a piece where it sits. You skip the teardown and the trucking, the alignment stays put, and you're back up and running sooner.
We're proud of our portable capabilities. We design portable setups for specific on-site jobs, and we can build more to fit yours, at any location you need us.

Common questions
Where do you do on-site work?
We are based in Superior and work throughout the Twin Ports area, including Superior, Duluth and the surrounding region. For jobs farther away, call us to talk it through.
What should I have ready when I call about an on-site job?
Photos of the damage, rough dimensions, the make and model of the equipment, and a sense of the access around it. That lets us plan the setup and bring the right tooling.
Why repair in place instead of bringing the part in?
On large equipment, tearing it out and hauling it in can take longer and cost more than the repair itself. Machining in place keeps alignment and cuts downtime.
Can you build tooling for an unusual job?
Yes. We have designed and built portable equipment for specific jobs, and we can make tooling to fit yours.
