J.R. Smith Welding Service, Inc. is equipped with specialized tooling and portable machinery to perform a full range of structural in-field machining services, including face milling, slotted hole milling, boring, drilling, tapping, worn keyway repair, and shaft machining.
We’ve developed advanced techniques and custom grinding equipment to achieve precision profile sizing and dimensional restoration on worn parts—often those too large, heavy, or uniquely shaped to be processed on conventional shop machines. Our skilled team combines hand weld build-up with precision grinding to return components to exact specifications, all while working safely in any industrial environment.
By repairing components on-site, we minimize downtime and reduce costs compared to disassembly and replacement. Common applications include large forklift frame axle mounts, container spreader side-shift wear slides, container crane trolley rails, concrete-embedded tie-down pad eyes, large structural steel and bridge parts, forklift masts, keyed shafts, gearboxes, motors, pump and conveyor shafts, forging press dies, and bull wheels.
