Industrial Diesel Engines
Machining and reconditioning for diesel engines and industrial applications
Industrial diesel engines require careful assessment of their condition, components and the work needed. Universal Crankshaft offers machining, reconditioning and assembly services for engines and components used in diesel and industrial applications.
From inspecting an industrial diesel engine or its components to performing the necessary machining, the goal is to determine what can be restored, what needs machining and which parts will be required before proceeding.
Machining expertise for major engine components
Depending on the industrial diesel engine and its condition, work may involve several components: crankshaft, engine block, cylinder heads, camshaft and other components requiring machining or reconditioning.
Universal Crankshaft can perform crankshaft regrinding and engine block machining, two important operations when these components need inspection and reconditioning before work on a diesel engine can continue.
Our shop also offers line boring, cylinder head machining, balancing, camshaft work and engine assembly as needed for the engine and its components.
Everything under one roof
Involving multiple providers on an industrial diesel engine can complicate assessment and coordination.
At Universal Crankshaft, several stages can be handled in the same shop: inspection, machining, reconditioning, supply of certain necessary parts and assembly as needed.
This approach helps maintain an overall view of the industrial diesel engine and allows you to speak directly with a team familiar with its components, their condition and restoration options.
Diesel, industrial equipment and heavy machinery
Our shop serves diesel and industrial applications, including engines used in industrial equipment and in trucks and heavy equipment.
Each industrial diesel engine is assessed based on its condition, the components involved and the work actually required. The goal is not to apply a standard solution but to determine the appropriate services for that engine and its components.
An initial evaluation before moving an engine or heavy component
Before shipping or transporting an industrial diesel engine or heavy component, you can send photos or a short video for an initial evaluation.
This step can help determine whether the engine or its components may be restorable and whether a more detailed in-shop inspection is warranted.
After inspection, our team can confirm the work required, the necessary parts and an estimated timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of work do you perform on industrial diesel engines?
Universal Crankshaft performs various machining and reconditioning operations on industrial diesel engines and their components, including crankshafts, engine blocks, cylinder heads and camshafts. Our shop also offers line boring, balancing and engine assembly as needed.
Can you evaluate an industrial diesel engine before I transport it?
Yes. Photos or a short video can support an initial evaluation of an industrial diesel engine before transport. A physical inspection may still be needed to confirm the engine's condition and the work required.
What determines turnaround time for work on an industrial diesel engine?
Turnaround time depends on the type of work, the condition of the engine and its components, and the availability of the required parts. After an evaluation, our team can outline the next steps and an estimated timeframe.
Have Your Industrial Diesel Engine Evaluated
Do you have an industrial diesel engine, engine block, crankshaft or other component that needs evaluation?
Send some information about the engine or component and, when helpful, photos or a short video. Our team can make an initial evaluation and explain the next steps.
