Alloy Wheel Repair TIG Welding Equipment

 

This image shows our 3 Phase TIG welder and gas bottle fixed to the rear of the unit.

Our welding facilities cover MIG, TIG, ARC & Spot welding methods.

We specialise in Aluminium, Magnesium, Mild Steel & Stainless Steel welding.

We have over 20 years experience in welding and there is pretty much nothing we wont weld together using an appropriate method.

85% of our current welding jobs are for alloy or magnesium wheel repairs.

We still get the odd steel wheel to repair tho'.
