Machining
 

No matter how large or small the job, our experienced machinists are able to perform precise machining repairs or manufacturing using state of the art equipment. HOLT Machine shop technicians have access to traditional and computer guided equipment. Machine tooling includes boring mills for large in-shop line boring; two smaller mills with 2-1/2” spindles; a horizontal mill; 6 lathes; 5 drill presses including a 500 ton brake press; a state of the art Climax boring machine; a CNC lathe and other precision cutting and drilling equipment.

Welding Services
 

From pin holes to major cracks, HOLT's certified welders will repair equipment back to factory specifications, structural integrity and appearance. We have the latest equipment for welding, thermal spray welding and abrasive resistant material application. HOLT can easily repair worn parts using thermal spray welding in a variety of coatings (stainless steel, bronze, babbit, nickel, aluminum or hard surfacing) and in a range of hardness, for a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new part.

Sub-Harmonic Stress Relief
Welding causes some residual metal stress that can result in buckling, fatigue, stress corrosion or cracking. Various techniques can be used to reduce this stress and improve weld strength. A mechanical means of stress relief is through vibration. HOLT has invested in sub-harmonic stress relief tooling and offers this exclusive service which is not available from most fabrication operations.

Abrasion Resistant Material (A.R.M) can be applied to just about any cutting edge, tooth or bucket to extended ground engaging tool life, reduce downtime and equipment maintenance cost.

A fleet of 22 field service machining and welding trucks equipped with cutting edge line boring and welding machines allows HOLT to quickly handle equipment related machining and welding repairs in the field, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
