Case study: Tier 1 Automotive Supplier

by Matt Van DamApril 14, 2023

A Tier 1 automotive supplier faced a critical situation with failing material handling equipment that threatened to halt half of their production.

The Problem

The client reached out to us when a custom piece of their material handling equipment had degraded to the point of becoming almost inoperable. This equipment had been slowly degrading over time, but the OEM was unresponsive in supplying information or replacement parts.

If the client had waited much longer, the failing equipment would have shut down an entire wing of the plant and halted at least half of their production.

GELOCK's Solution

Our team had to work with a tight timeline as there were narrow windows when the client could shut down the machine completely to be worked on.

Using our total team approach, we were able to provide a turnkey repair. We sourced the replacement bearings, sprockets, and chains, then reverse engineered and fabricated the needed components.

Our on-site technicians performed a "pit-stop," replacing all the worn and damaged components. Once completed, the machine is fully operational again.

When it comes to your business, we know that time is money. That's why you can trust the GELOCK team to provide rapid repairs with reliable results for your industrial machinery repairs.
