Our team uses advanced diagnostic equipment to quickly identify electrical problems, whether they involve faulty wiring, sensors, control modules, or switches. Accurate diagnostics allow us to fix the problem efficiently, minimizing downtime and preventing further damage to your equipment.
• Wiring Repair & Replacement: Heavy equipment is subject to harsh conditions that can wear down or damage wiring over time. Damaged or corroded wiring can lead to power loss, malfunctioning controls, or safety hazards. We inspect, repair, and replace damaged wiring to restore proper electrical function to your equipment.
• Lighting Repair & Replacement: Functional lighting is critical for safety and operational efficiency, especially in low-light or nighttime conditions. We repair and replace headlights, work lights, brake lights, and other safety lighting to ensure your equipment is visible and compliant with safety regulations.
• Battery Testing & Replacement: The battery is the heart of your electrical system, providing the power needed to start the engine and run electrical components. A weak or failing battery can cause starting issues, poor electrical performance, or complete power loss. We test and replace batteries as needed to ensure your equipment is always ready to operate.
• Starter & Alternator Repair: The starter and alternator are critical components of the electrical system, responsible for starting the engine and charging the battery during operation. A faulty starter can prevent the engine from turning over, while a failing alternator can lead to battery drain and electrical malfunctions. We repair or replace starters and alternators to keep your equipment running reliably.
• Control Module Repair & Programming: Modern heavy equipment relies on control modules to manage engine performance, hydraulic functions, and other critical systems. When a control module malfunctions, it can lead to performance issues or complete system failure. We provide diagnostic and repair services for control modules, including reprogramming or replacing them to ensure your equipment operates at peak efficiency.
• Sensor Testing & Replacement: Sensors play a vital role in monitoring engine performance, fuel efficiency, and other key systems in your equipment. Faulty sensors can lead to inaccurate readings, poor performance, or engine failure. We diagnose and replace faulty sensors, ensuring that your equipment’s systems are receiving accurate information.
• Instrument Panel & Gauge Repair: The instrument panel provides critical information about the status of your equipment, including engine temperature, fuel levels, and hydraulic pressures. Malfunctioning gauges or instrument panels can lead to inaccurate readings and unsafe operating conditions. We repair or replace faulty instrument panels and gauges, ensuring accurate monitoring of your equipment’s vital systems.
• HVAC Electrical Repair: Your equipment’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system relies on electrical components to function properly. Faulty wiring, switches, or control modules can cause HVAC malfunctions, leading to operator discomfort or safety issues. We repair HVAC electrical systems, ensuring a comfortable working environment for your operators.
