Repair pricing, failure modes, and turnaround for crane / hoist gearboxes — or sell yours for cash.
Crane and hoist gearboxes are safety-critical — load brakes, precise ratios, and duty cycles that spike from zero to maximum in seconds.
We arrange complete teardown, failure analysis, and rebuild to OEM spec for crane / hoist gearboxes of every major brand — including P&H, Demag, Stahl, ACE, David Round, Harnischfeger. Typical rebuild cost runs 30–60% of a new unit, with 5–14 day standard turnaround and 24–72 hour emergency service, against new-unit lead times that often stretch 16–30 weeks. Every quote comes with the full picture: standard shop price, our in-house price, replacement cost, and a cash offer for the unit as-is.
And if the numbers say replace instead of repair, we don't walk away — we buy failed, surplus, and decommissioned crane / hoist gearboxes for cash, any condition, nationwide pickup. Even a seized unit carries value in its castings, alloy gearing, and copper windings.
