Over the years A.L.

We can refurbish components or remanufacture equipment from the frame up depending on your budget and requirements. For equipment remanufacturing, we strip and sandblast the frames, rebuild them with new pins, bushings, seals, etc. All the mechanical components are rebuilt to OEM specifications or replaced with new if required. The unit's electrical systems are completely rewired and new gauges installed. All hydraulic hoses are replaced and all hydraulic components are brought back to OEM specifications or replaced with new ones.

Before leaving our "Otway Works" shop facility, every machine and all of its operating systems are thoroughly tested and guaranteed. A cost-effective way to replace your machine – new machine performance with warranty – provides a quick return on your investment.
