Loader Bucket Rebuild

/in , /by

When your bucket needs more than just a little TLC…

Client: Brooks Tractor Incorporated

Location: In Shop

Project Type: Farm Machinery Rebuild

Start to Finish: Two Days

 

Over time those heavy-lifting pieces of equipment can become so worn down that they need a complete overhaul.
That is exactly what Brooks Tractor Inc. thought when they took a look at this 4-in-1 loader bucket.

They gave R.C. Welding a call, accepted our quote over the phone, and the bucket was delivered to our shop for its makeover.

First, we torched off the cutting edge and each of the wear plates.

Second, we cleaned the surface of the bucket so our welds would hold.

Last, we welded on the new steel cutting edge and 8 new steel wear plates.

See for yourself!

BEFORE

As you can see towards the top of these pictures, the cutting edge has been worn off and is actually missing on the right side of the middle picture.
In addition, each of the 8 wear plates have been worn smooth.

Free-Floating Curved Staircase

/in , /by

“Every job starts with an idea…”

 

Our customer’s wish was to have a curved staircase that was free of any type of support columns from the deck down or, “free-floating.“

There were two major challenges to accommodate this request.
  • CHALLENGE #1 – We needed an engineer to design such a structure and determine what size and type of material was needed to safely support a free-floating deck. We found that engineer in New York and the material required was calculated out to be 2” x 12” rectangular tubing.
  • CHALLENGE #2 We needed to find a company with a CNC roller capable of handling our requirements. We finally located such a company in Missouri and once the stringers were rolled and delivered to our shop, fabrication commenced!

 

How do you think it turned out?

Oh yeah, we worked on this spiral staircase as well.

Attention Grabbing Road Sign

Custom Fabricated Signs – Our Specialty!

 

Client: Sergi Farms LLC

Location: Elkhorn, WI

Date: August 17, 2018

Material: Powder-coated steel

Size: 6.5′ x 7′

 

 

When Sergi Farms LLC realized that too many current and potential customers were driving by their farm without even knowing it,
they decided it was time to get a custom-fabricated road sign of grand design, so they called R.C. Welding.

 First, we plasma cut the Sergi Farms LLC logo on our CNC burn table into two sheets of steel – one for each face of the sign. These sheets were then taken to Spectrum Coating LLC in Milton, WI to be powder coated. The color chosen by the client is a specialty red color with gold & silver flecks in it. The sign was then assembled, delivered, and installed. For this particular job, the client actually installed the sign himself, but we normally like to be a “one-stop-shop” and take care of installs ourselves.

Sergi Farms should no longer have a problem with anyone driving by and not knowing which farm they just passed. Don’t you agree?
