Heavy Equipment Repair
Restoring Strength, Reducing Downtime
Heavy equipment is at the heart of operations in industries like forestry, agriculture, construction, and resource extraction. When these machines break down, every hour off the job is lost productivity and added cost. At Lipkvich Fabrication, our Heavy Equipment Repair service is built to get your machines back to work — fast, reliably, and with long-term performance in mind.
We specialize in repairing, refurbishing, and maintaining heavy machinery of all kinds, including excavators, loaders, skidders, forestry harvesters, tractors, trucks, and industrial equipment. With experienced technicians, full shop facilities, mobile repair capability, and a commitment to quality, we help you extend life, minimize downtime, and protect your investment.

Our Repair Process
We follow a structured, transparent process to ensure quality, communication, and predictive outcomes:
-
Initial Assessment & Quotation
You bring the machine or contact us on-site. We perform a visual inspection, connect diagnostics, and identify failure modes. We then deliver a detailed quote including labor, parts, and lead times. -
Disassembly & Inspection
We dismantle the damaged area, inspect internal components, measure wear, check for hidden damage, and document findings. We schedule repair steps based on severity and feasibility. -
Repair, Rebuild & Fabrication
We repair or replace parts, perform machine shop operations (milling, boring, turning), weld structural elements, rebuild hydraulic components, and reassemble under alignment control. -
Testing & Calibration
After assembly, systems are pressure tested, run-in cycles are performed, and system calibrations confirmed to manufacturer or best-practice specs. -
Final Inspection & Delivery
Our quality checks include leak tests, load testing, alignment checks, and performance validation. Once passed, we prepare and deliver your machine, or return it to you on-site.
Turnaround & Capacity
-
Minor repairs / component rebuilds: often 1–3 business days
-
Major system repairs or structural rebuilds: 1–3+ weeks depending on scope
-
Emergency or mobile repairs: as fast as same-day or within 24 hours, schedule permitting
Because we maintain a well-stocked parts inventory, multiple repair bays, and mobile readiness, we can frequently compress lead times.
Industries & Applications We Serve
-
Forestry and logging equipment (harvesters, skidders, forwarders)
-
Agricultural equipment (tractors, combines, attachments)
-
Construction / earthmoving machinery (excavators, loaders, dozers)
-
Municipal fleet and road maintenance equipment
-
Utility and infrastructure machines
-
Custom equipment, specialty machinery, and OEM support
If you have custom machinery or a one-off unit, we’ll work with you to restore or adapt it.
Preventive Strategies & Minimizing Failures
We strongly encourage implementing preventive and predictive maintenance. Some benefits include:
-
Lower repair costs over time — catching small wear before it becomes catastrophic
-
Greater uptime and reliability — fewer job disruptions
-
Longer machine life — reducing total cost of ownership
-
Better resale value — well-documented maintenance history
Techniques we support:
-
Regular inspections (daily, weekly, monthly)
-
Vibration, oil analysis, thermal imaging
-
Usage-based maintenance triggers
-
Operator training and pre-shift checks
Over time, these strategies reduce reactive repairs and promote smoother operations.
Case Studies & Success Stories
-
Rebuilt a loader’s hydraulic system after catastrophic failure — returned to full operation under load
-
Restored a damaged boom structure on a forestry harvester, retaining alignment and extending useful life
-
