Ameridrives' rebuild and repair facility in Erie, Pennsylvania allows North American mill & shredder operators to significantly reduce downtime.
Metal mill and shredder facilities in North America, with an eye on increasing output while reducing costs and downtime, can send their damaged Ameridrives or competitor U-joints/ drive shafts directly to our facility in Erie, Pennsylvania.
We’re built for speed
We understand that every hour of mill or shredder downtime can cost thousands of dollars. That's why our facility is set up and staffed to provide fast turnaround of all our customer U-joint repairs and rebuilds.
ER Emergency Repair Program
We offer emergency rebuild services for those instances when a U-Joint/drive shaft needs to be repaired within a matter of hours and returned. Our dedicated team of technicians work after hours and over the weekend, if necessary. We hold finished component stock for all common sizes specifically for the mill & shredder industries.
We've had customer trucks waiting in our yard while repairs to a damaged shaft were completed. In a couple cases, the paint was still wet as the repaired U-Joint was loaded on the waiting truck for transport to the customer's location.
