Extreme operating conditions along with significant erosion caused the shaft on this cast iron impeller to snap. The broken shaft was removed and a replacement was press fit in place.

These two connecting rods came to us in an emergency situation. OEM parts were available but at a 10-14 week lead-time. Our customer (Automotive Components Supplier) was back in production less than 3 days later.

This is an example of a typical engine block repair. This D-9 Caterpillar Bulldozer engine threw a connecting rod through the side of the block. We fabricated a replacement piece, metal locked, and painted. Very cost-effective. 

Metal Locking Service performs many repairs to various types of equipment for the aggregate industry. This example is a cracked shock mount from a Terex earthmoving dump truck. Crusher and swing jaw repairs are also a specialty.

Replacement gear assembled with hub

 

Although we braze, weld, or replace gear teeth sections, wear of this magnitude requires a full replacement. No problem for us though: big or small, we tackle any application.

A large portion of our business centers on gearbox and compressor repair. We sleeve bores that have been; worn, galled, cracked due to heat build-up, machined improperly, or exposed to shaft and/or bearing failure.
