There’s a lot of stuff that can go wrong if you’re not careful and experienced in refinishing heavy machinery. The professionals at Horton industrial have years of experience refinishing heavy equipment and know exactly what to look out for her to provide a professional job. Some of the items we specialize in are dump trucks, transfer trailers, dump boxes, super dumps, equipment trailers, flatbed trailers, and silos.

Why should I refinish my heavy equipment?

There are a ton of reasons why you have your equipment refinished. The most important is to extend the life of your equipment. Most stuff we work on is in pretty rough shape. And often most of the damage was actually caused by rust and corrosion. Rust not only causes pitting, but are you can eat all the way through your steel. It also corrodes threads for your fittings which then causes fluid leaks. Finally coming application is absolutely imperative for preventing corrosion. If equipment is maintained more often with quality paint jobs, a lot of welding and steel replacement will not be necessary. This saves tens of thousands of dollars in the long run.

Another reason to refinish equipment in Spokane is because customers notice. The condition of your equipment is a reflection of the quality the work your company performs. If you maintain your equipment with quality paint work it reflects to your customers that you do a good job. If you use rusty, ugly equipment it is a sign that if you can’t even take care of your own stuff. So why should a customer believe you will do a good job if they hire you? It isn’t a big problem if you do have rusty equipment though. Often Horton industrial can provide a top-quality brand new paid job for much less than what you expected it to actually cost.

Problems with new equipment 

Something many people don’t realize when they buy new equipment is that the paint job that comes on new equipment is often the poorest quality. The manufacturers are trying to cut costs by any means and that paint job may look good when you purchase it but in almost 90% of applications it’s a poorly prepped surface and the cheapest paint the manufacturer could find. Often on trailers you can notice this. After just one or two years of use the entire paint job is flaking off. The coating system Horton industrial uses on most equipment is far superior to most paint jobs you’ll find on brand new equipment. We used only the highest quality epoxy primer followed by an epoxy polyurethane topcoat. Other than physical abrasion, the system we use typically lasts at least 20 years before fading even occurs.
