Heavy equipment doesn’t live an easy life. Components crack. Attachments wear. Welds fail. Steel bends. And sometimes the factory part simply wasn’t designed for what the machine is being asked to do.
Crane Mountain Fabrication provides welding, repair, reinforcement, modification, and custom fabrication for heavy equipment throughout Kalispell and the Flathead Valley.
Understand the failure. Solve the problem. Get the equipment working again.
Repair / Reinforce / Modify
Steel takes a beating.
Start with the component and how it’s used. We’ll determine the appropriate repair or fabrication approach.

The repair philosophy
Repair the problem. Not just the crack.
01 / EVALUATE
The failure
A visible failure doesn’t always tell the whole story.
02 / EVALUATE
The load
Where appropriate, we look at where the load is being carried and how the equipment is being used.
03 / EVALUATE
The repair
The repaired component needs to withstand the demands of its working environment.
Your machine isn’t a garage ornament.
When a working machine goes down, the repair isn’t merely about the machine. It’s about getting the job moving again.
