On Site Machining

Machinery is frequently too large to be easily transported to the convenience of a workshop. Active Engineering has experienced staff operating five mobile workshops that come to you.

On site machining can cut your downtime, save disassembly and eliminate transport costs. We can build-up and linebore any bearing or pin bore back to original size, or if preferred the bore can be oversized and sleeved. Shafts up to 260mm diameter can be machined in situ plus keyways cut, flanges refaced and holes drilled, tapped or resized.

Earhmoving Machinery
Earthmoving machinery is one of Active Engineering's specialties. Where the mechanic's breakdown service stops, we are there with full support.

Our line boring equipment is frequently used to repair joints on Excavators, Loaders, Graders or anything that pivots.
We stock and fit high quality Acti Bush hardened pins and bushes to get your machine running again in the shortest possible time.
