Mechanical and engineering services
A machine standing still costs money. We fix it in our Daliburgh workshop or come to it, anywhere across Uist and Barra, including evening call-outs when it cannot wait.
What we work on
If it has an engine, hydraulics or a chassis, there is a good chance we can sort it.
What we do
Led by our heavy plant engineer, with 10 years across heavy plant, HGVs, light vehicles and civils.
Fault finding is done properly: we test, isolate and prove the cause before parts are ordered, so you are not paying for guesses.

From the job sheet
Real faults, how we found them and what we did.
JCB JS145
Controls unresponsive with the deadman lever down. Checked lever position, microswitch and fuse, then found the hydraulic isolation solenoid coil seized onto its armature tube. Substituting the slew brake coil restored the controls on test and confirmed the diagnosis.
Hitachi 135
An 11:30pm finish to get a customer's excavator repaired and ready for work.
Croft trailer
New axle adapters made from fresh steel, structurally weak chassis plated, new axles, bearings and hub assemblies, finished with a protective paint coating.
