Cracked, Bent, or Broken? 4 Metal Challenges Our Weld Shop Can Fix

From heavy machinery on a job site to the security gate at your property, metal components are built to be tough—but they aren’t indestructible. When a critical metal part cracks, wears out, or breaks, it can bring your entire operation to a halt. This is where a local, versatile welding job shop becomes your most valuable asset.

At Imagination Fabrication, we specialize in providing practical, durable solutions to the toughest metal-related problems. Instead of facing the high cost and long wait times of replacing entire assemblies, our team can deliver precise repairs and custom parts to get you back up and running quickly.

Cracked Heavy Equipment and Attachments

One of the most common challenges we see is stress cracks in heavy equipment, especially on excavator buckets, loader arms, and machinery frames. These cracks can quickly worsen, leading to catastrophic failure and posing a major safety risk.

Our Solution: Our experienced welders don't just patch the problem. We meticulously V-gouge the crack to ensure full penetration, then apply a high-strength weld to restore the component's integrity. We can also weld reinforcing gussets and wear plates to prevent the issue from happening again, saving you thousands over a replacement part.

Worn-Out or Broken Brackets and Mounts

Often, it’s the failure of a small, seemingly minor part—like a mounting bracket or a support tab—that renders a large piece of machinery useless. Finding an exact OEM replacement can be difficult, expensive, or even impossible for older equipment.

Our Solution: As a full-service weld shop, we can fabricate a brand-new bracket from scratch. Using your old part or specific dimensions, we can create a stronger, more durable replacement. Our CNC plasma cutting capabilities allow us to produce precise and complex shapes, ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Corroded or Damaged Gates and Handrails

Wrought iron and steel gates, fences, and handrails are constantly exposed to the elements, making them susceptible to rust and physical damage. A broken railing isn't just an eyesore; it's a serious liability and safety hazard.

Our Solution: Before you tear out and replace the entire structure, let us take a look. We can carefully cut out the corroded or broken sections and seamlessly weld in new, matching material. This process restores both the aesthetic beauty and the structural safety of your railing or gate for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
