Who we serve
Four sectors, one phone number.
Most shops pick a lane. We work across all of them — which means the same crew that pulls an industrial machine can also fix the gate at your place.
Industrial
Machine removal and installation, structural repair, and fabrication that keeps a plant running.
Commercial
Stairs, railings, racks, and custom steel built to fit the building you already have.
Agricultural
Implements, augers, grain equipment, and barn repairs — done in the field when it can't leave.
Residential
Docks, railings, trailers, and the one-off repairs around a property that nobody else will take.
Portable service
If it can't come to us, we come to it.
Plenty of the work we do can't be loaded on a trailer — a dock at the waterline, an excavator on a job site, an auger in the middle of a field, a machine bolted to a plant floor.
Our portable rig brings the welder, the tools, and the steel to you. Same work, same standard, wherever the job actually is — including after hours when a breakdown can't wait until morning.
- Aluminum dock repair on site
- Heavy equipment and trailer repair in the field
- Industrial machine removal and installation
- After-hours calls to keep schedules moving
Capabilities
Fabrication, repair, and everything between.
Bring us a broken part, a drawing, or just a description of what you need — we build from all three.
Custom fabrication
Built to your dimensions: man lift baskets, rock grizzlies, stairs, racks, and equipment attachments.
Structural repair
Cracked frames, bent members, and worn-through steel cut out, straightened, braced, and rewelded.
Heavy equipment
Excavator thumbs, buckets, and attachments repaired so the machine can get back to work today.
Trailer service
Frames, decks, hitches, and ramps repaired or rebuilt to keep trailers hauling safely.
Aluminum work
Aluminum dock sections and other aluminum repairs — a different skill set than steel, and we have it.
Tanks & vessels
Pushed-out tanks straightened with new baffles and bracing added to keep operations going.
Our work
Jobs off the shop floor and out in the field.
Every photo here is a real Livewire job — custom builds, field repairs, and fabrication for customers across central Minnesota.
