Heavy machinery and construction equipment are built tough—but constant use, vibration, and harsh conditions eventually take their toll. Cracks, breaks, and worn joints can bring a project to a halt. That’s where professional welding repairs for heavy machinery come in. At Structural Welders, we specialize in restoring the strength and reliability of equipment across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Why Heavy Equipment Needs Welding Repairs
Stress & Vibration – Excavators, loaders, bulldozers, and cranes face constant high stress.
Wear & Tear – Pins, bushings, and joints wear down under heavy loads.
Impact Damage – Buckets, blades, and arms crack from hitting rock and debris.
Corrosion – Exposure to weather and chemicals weakens steel.
Without timely welding, small cracks can spread, leading to major failures and costly downtime.
Common Welding Repairs for Heavy Machinery
Our certified welders handle all types of heavy-equipment welding, including:
Boom & Arm Cracks – Excavators, backhoes, and loaders.
Bucket & Blade Repairs – Reinforcement, hardfacing, and rebuilds.
Undercarriage Components – Tracks, rollers, and structural frames.
Hydraulic Mounts – Welding and reinforcing around cylinders.
Custom Reinforcement – Adding wear plates and gussets for extended life.
Our Heavy Equipment Welding Process
Inspection – Identify cracks, stress points, and worn areas.
Preparation – Grind out cracks, clean surfaces, and drill stop-holes.
Welding – Use Stick, MIG, or flux-core welding with heavy-duty electrodes.
Reinforcement – Add gussets, wear plates, or fish plates where needed.
Finishing – Grind, smooth, and coat with protective finishes.
We often perform hardfacing, which applies a wear-resistant layer of weld metal to extend the lifespan of high-contact parts like buckets and blades.
