TIG all the way out crack repair on this Valtra loader arm. As there were hydraulic lines nearby, to save disconnecting they were covered by an aluminium heat shield.
As the machine was used for some time with this crack, it transferred stress to the other arm and caused an additional crack. Both sides fully repaired and reinforced with steel plating.
Customer needed internal gates on their recently built sheep/alpaca barn. Only issue, no way of mounting the hinges to clear the roller shutter channels.
Fabricated these stand-off brackets to bring the hinge ~150mm out and back inline with the channel. Heavy wall 50mm box section and 45x80mm angle.
8 in total. Measured, fabricated, installed and coated within 6 hours.
