Service — RDMS-SVC-01 · St. George, Utah
Heavy equipment repair.
Excavators, dozers, loaders, and scrapers — structural weld repair that puts iron back in the dirt fast, without cut corners.
Machine down? Call or text — photos of the break speed the quote.
The scope
Cracks don’t schedule appointments.
Heavy equipment breaks where the load lives: boom and stick knuckles, bucket edges, undercarriage frames. Left alone, a hairline crack becomes a torn plate — and a machine that was earning yesterday sits dead in the yard. This is the work Red Desert Metal Solutions is set up for.
Every repair runs the same discipline: find the true end of the crack, gouge to sound metal, prep to bright steel, then weld with the heat and sequence the section demands — full-penetration where the load calls for it, hard-facing where the ground eats edges. The bead gets inspected against the standard before the machine goes back to work, because a repair that lasts a week isn’t a repair.
Work happens in the bay or at your site — the mobile unit covers all of Washington County, dispatched from St. George against a 48-hour target turnaround. Trailer taking the same beating? See trailer fab & repair.

Q.01
Can you repair equipment on site?
Yes. The mobile unit dispatches from St. George and covers all of Washington County — Hurricane, Washington, Santa Clara, Ivins, and beyond when the job makes sense. Describe the break when you call and the rig shows up loaded for it.
-
Q.02
How fast can a machine be back to work?
The shop schedules against a 48-hour target turnaround, because downtime costs more than welding does. Call with photos and you’ll get a straight answer on timing before work starts.
-
Q.03
What should I send for a quote?
Photos of the break, roughly where the machine sits, and what it needs to do next week. Text them to (406) 480-4912 and you’ll get a flat-rate or itemized number before an arc is struck.

Q.04
Who does the welding?
Andrew Petersen — the ASME-certified owner, trained in precision aerospace fabrication. The person who quotes the repair is the person welding it, inspecting it, and standing behind it.
Machine down?
Dead iron earns nothing. Call the shop.
