Call. Dispatch. Running.

Field service is about getting it right the first trip. Here is how we keep it to one.

  1. 01

    Call and Describe It

    Machine, location, and what it is doing. We ask the questions that decide whether this is a field repair or a tow, and we tell you straight if coming out would waste your money.

  2. 02

    Truck Rolls Prepared

    The crane truck leaves stocked for the failure you described: hoses, fittings, filters, batteries, and the tooling for heavy component work. Preparation is what makes one trip enough.

  3. 03

    Repair and Verify

    Diagnosed by testing, repaired to shop standards, and run under load before we pack up. If the machine needs shop work we say so on the spot and plan the haul with you.

Field Service That Is Not A Downgrade.

Most mobile repair is a compromise: whatever fits in a pickup bed, patched until the machine can reach a real shop. The crane truck removes that ceiling. Real components, real repairs, on your location across Midland, Odessa, and the wider Permian Basin.

  • 8,000 lb Crane Engines, transmissions, pumps, and counterweights lifted safely on site. The capability that separates repair from roadside first aid.
  • Shop Behind the Truck The 140 x 150 ft Midland shop backs every field call. Components that need bench work come back, get done right, and return with the crane, including heavy equipment engine rebuilds.
  • Same Parts Standard OEM when they exist, best available when they do not. The field is not an excuse for bargain parts that fail in a month.
  • Honest Dispatch If the repair should happen in the shop, we say so before rolling the truck. You pay for repair capability, not for mileage theater.

Common Questions

How far will you travel for mobile heavy equipment repair?
We cover a 100-mile radius around Midland, which reaches Odessa and most working Permian Basin locations. For jobs outside that range, call anyway. Depending on the machine and the failure, it may still make sense for one side or the other.
What can an 8,000 lb crane actually handle in the field?
Most engines, transmissions, hydraulic pumps, radiator packs, and attachments on construction and oilfield equipment. It means a blown engine on a dozer can be swapped on location instead of paying to haul the machine both ways. If a lift is beyond the truck, we tell you before we roll.
Which equipment brands do you service in the field?
Our team works on CAT, John Deere, Komatsu, Case, Bobcat, Volvo, JLG, and Kioti equipment, along with semi trucks and trailers. Call (432) 557-6500 with the make, model, and what the machine is doing, and we will tell you whether the parts are something we carry or something we need to source first.
Is field repair as good as shop repair?
For the jobs we accept in the field, yes. Same testing discipline, same OEM parts standard, and the repair runs under load before we leave. Work that genuinely needs a controlled environment, like engine rebuilds or hydrostatic teardown, goes to the shop, and we say so upfront.
Do you do scheduled fleet maintenance on site?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance at your yard or location for equipment fleets: oil and filter services, inspections, hydraulic sampling, and the small repairs that stop big ones. It keeps machines earning instead of riding lowboys back and forth for routine work.
What does mobile heavy equipment repair cost near Midland, TX?
Field calls are priced on travel, time, and the repair itself, and we quote major work before it starts. The comparison that matters is against hauling: a lowboy both ways plus days of downtime usually costs more than bringing the shop to the machine. Call (432) 557-6500 with the details.
