Interior Rust Repair & Prevention for Salt Truck and Loader Cabs

Salt is steel’s worst enemy, and salt trucks and loaders endure more salt exposure and attack than any other vehicle in a DOT fleet. Corrosion occurring inside the cab is not just unsightly- it is dangerous. Corroded floors, seats and steps collapse without warning, and may lead to serious driver injury.

Repairing the cab floor is extremely labor intensive and requires skilled welders and equipment downtime. Replacing the steel, priming, and painting can work, but the duration of the repair is short lived.

Salvage II applied over rusted floorboards, steps and seat mounts encapsulates steel and rust and instantly prevents additional rusting. Spraying Wear-Flex XPress Coating over the Salvage II creates a durable, flexible barrier for long-term rust prevention.

Pothole and Spall Repair on Concrete Bridge Decks

Potholes are common to bridges because they sway and flex and are fully exposed to the elements. Water gets into the cracks and holes and freezes and expands...and so do the cracks and holes!

Typically road crews try using hot patches, cold patches, and a 4-step proprietary spray injection technology to fix small pot holes on a concrete bridge deck over steel spans.

It is not uncommon for these methods to fail in 6 to 12 months, ultimately leading to the closure, dismantling and re-decking of the bridge at significant cost.

Mega-Crete Fast Cure concrete repair compound can be used to quickly and effectively fix common cracks and holes in bridges. Its high compression formula handles heavy vehicle weight and flexes enough to absorb minor bridge movement. Mega-Crete Fast Cure compound can be traffic-ready in hours and can handle long-term exposure to cold temperatures.

Extended Service of Street Sweeper Skids

Street sweeper skids take severe wear from sliding on asphalt and concrete several hours each day. The repair cost for these skids can be significant and may require repairs as often as every 2 weeks. Repair costs continuously escalate if the skids are not properly maintained as recommended.

Cryo-Ultralite lightweight composite wear plate has proven that these repairs can not only save time and money but extend the maintenance cycle from 2 to 6 weeks or more. Cryo-Ultralite's economically long life extends maintenance intervals to reduce labor expense. It lasts up to 13 times longer than AR-4400, and it reduces added weight for hard facing by 5 times over standard carbide overlay plate.

Salt Truck and Scraper Blade Repairs

Salt trucks and removable snow plows get damaged during routine use. Maintenance welding on these vehicles is common, as existing welds around mounting brackets, yokes, and frames routinely break.

Repairing rusty, heavily painted, greasy, and dirty salt trucks using E7018 requires a perfectly cleaned base metal, because it is a production-grade electrode. This is especially tough in areas with limited access.

Black Glass Lo-Hi is a maintenance grade electrode designed to deliver the benefits of a low hydrogen weld deposit, plus superior base metal cleaning action. X-Ergon’s Chem-A-Tized Flux attracts and consumes base metal contaminants like lava. The impurities combine and solidify within the slag and are chipped off after each bead. Black Glass Lo-Hi is easy to use in all positions and is a True Maintenance Grade low-hydrogen elctrode.
