10K Forklift Carrier Repair at the Clark Mine

We got the call from the Clark Mine - a 10K forklift with a damaged carrier plate that needed more than a patch job. When equipment that size goes down at a mine site, the crew feels it. Every hour it's parked is an hour of lost productivity, so getting it back up and running the right way was the priority.

The decision was straightforward once we assessed the damage. Cut out the damaged plate and replace it clean. That's the fix that holds up under real working conditions. Slapping something over a compromised section might buy a little time, but it doesn't solve the problem - and on a machine this size, a half-measure isn't worth the risk.

We brought everything we needed right to the site. The work went from pulling the carrier and getting it on the bench, to fitting the new plate and welding it in solid. You can see the fresh steel sitting flush and tight against the carrier structure once the repair was done. Clean fit, full penetration welds, nothing left to question.

That's the kind of heavy equipment welding and repair work we do - not just getting something operational, but doing it in a way that actually sticks. Mine sites, construction yards, industrial facilities - if the equipment matters to your operation, it matters to us.
