Crane & Heavy Plant Body Repairs
A crane or piece of heavy plant equipment isn’t repaired the way a vehicle is — structural damage to a boom, jib or outrigger isn’t just a panel-beating job, it’s a question of whether that structure is safe to put back under load. Most panel shops won’t take this work on at all.
We do. Max Smash Repairs handles body, structural and cosmetic repair for cranes, excavators, loaders and general heavy plant — with paint and fabrication systems built for the wear these machines take outdoors every day.
What We Do
Structural and Chassis Repairs
Assessment and correction of structural damage to frames and chassis, using equipment built for heavy plant geometry.
Boom, Jib and Outrigger Repairs
Repair work on booms, jibs, outriggers and stabiliser legs — components that carry load and need to be structurally sound, not just visually straight.
Operator Cabin Repairs
Cab and cabin panel repair to factory standard, including glazing and access points.
Heavy-Duty Repaint Systems
Paint systems built for ongoing on-site wear — dust, UV exposure, chemical and hydraulic fluid contact.
Corrosion and Rust Remediation
Equipment stored or worked outdoors long-term develops corrosion differently to a vehicle — we treat it properly.
Custom Fabrication
In-house fabrication of replacement panels, guards and fittings where standard parts aren’t available.
Structural Certification & Compliance
Structural repairs to a crane or lifting equipment often need sign-off by a qualified structural engineer before it can go back into service. We factor this into how we scope and quote structural jobs.
Where a repair affects a load chart plate or capacity decal, we make sure it’s reinstated correctly as part of the job.
Our Repair Process
Assessment — we inspect the structure and liaise with your insurer and engineering sign-off contact to confirm scope upfront.
Quote — an itemised quote covering structural, panel and paint work, and certification requirements if applicable.
Repair — structural correction, fabrication, panel and paint work using our heavy-plant-capable equipment.
Certification & Quality Check — structural work verified and made available for engineering sign-off where required.
Handover — equipment returned to your site, genuinely ready to go back to work.
Equipment We Use
Structural and chassis alignment systems capable of assessing frame geometry on heavy plant equipment; heavy-duty repaint systems formulated for continuous outdoor wear; and in-house sheet metal fabrication for custom panels and fittings.
