Equipment & Machinery Repair across Mobile County, AL.
Equipment repair on the welding side: a cracked frame, a broken bracket or mount, a worn bucket edge, and the plain metal fatigue that shows up on anything that works for a living. Machinery repair means working out why the metal failed, not just closing the crack.
Farm equipment repair, shop machinery, commercial gear — the repair happens where the machine is parked, so nothing has to be loaded onto a trailer first. Weak spots get reinforced so the same place does not go again next season.
Forklifts come up often enough to say it plainly: Rod welds the steel — cracked masts, carriages, frames, overhead guards and mounts. He does not service the truck, and he does not weld forks. A fork is the manufacturer's call, and welding one ruins the heat treat. Call (251) 753-7337 and tell him what failed.

Equipment & Machinery Repair — Questions, Answered.
What equipment and machinery repair does Rod do?
The welding side: cracked frames, broken brackets and mounts, worn buckets and blades, and the metal fatigue that shows up on anything that works for a living. Shop, farm and commercial gear, welded where the machine is parked, anywhere in Mobile County, AL. Call (251) 753-7337.Can you weld a cracked forklift mast or frame?
Yes — masts, carriages, frames, overhead guards and mounts are structural welding work, and that is his end of it. What Rod does not do is service the truck: no hydraulics, no engine, no electrical, no inspections.Will you weld a cracked or broken forklift fork?
No, and nobody should. Under the ANSI and ITSDF safety standard, deciding whether a fork can be repaired — and doing it — is the fork manufacturer's call, or that of someone of equal competence. Welding is specifically not recommended, because it destroys the heat treatment and leaves the fork brittle. A cracked fork gets replaced.Can you weld a cracked bucket or a broken attachment?
Usually. Cracked buckets, worn edges, broken mounts and bent attachments are common work. If the metal is sound it gets ground and re-welded; if a piece is gone, the replacement gets fabricated. Send a photo to (251) 753-7337.Does Rod come out to the job site or the farm?
Yes — the repair happens where the machine sits, so a dead machine never has to be loaded onto a trailer first. Mobile County, 8 to 5, Monday through Friday.
