Wheel Group Repairs
Repairing components rather than replacing with new can provide significant cost savings. H-E Parts offers complete refurbished wheel groups for front and rear wheel groups. Innovative upgrades and continuous improvements to the product performance have proven to lower cost per ton and keep equipment running longer. Repair processes are carefully designed to produce a reliable component which in some cases has superior properties to the original e.g. wear resistance or fatigue life. H-E Parts has expertise and experience in welding, heat treatment, metallurgy, spline cutting, and general machining.
