When every minute of machine downtime can mean lost revenue, how do you stay ahead? At CRJ, we’re raising the bar on equipment support with the launch of our in-house mobile welding team, bringing expert fabrication and hardfacing directly to your site.
Over recent months we’ve expanded our industry leading service and support department with the addition of fully qualified, mobile welders. Designed to reduce delays and extend equipment life, this new service is more than just convenient, it’s a game-changer.
Why We’ve Taken Welding In-House
With a key focus on the shredder shaft hardfacing, particularly those in the HAAS range, these components endure intense daily wear. Reinforcing them with a tougher surface layer significantly extends their operational life, enhancing both durability and shredding efficiency. Historically, hardfacing work required external contractors or taking the machine off site to be serviced in our workshop. This approach often led to increased lead times, higher costs, and inconsistent repair quality.
To address these challenges, CRJ has brought mobile welding capabilities in-house. Our certified welders possess deep expertise in heavy plant machinery and wear issues faced by our customers across the UK and Ireland. Investing in a dedicated welding team guarantees delivering expert on-site welding without unnecessary delays, or off-site repairs.

With our own engineers welding on-site, you benefit from:
- Minimised Downtime: No need to “swing” machines out for off-site repair, our welders come directly to you.
- Consistent Quality: All welding jobs are carried out to CRJ’s high standards, ensuring reliable performance and machine longevity.
- Cost Efficiency: We now control the costs and pass these savings onto you.
- Faster Turnaround: In-house teams mean we can react faster and avoid delays from third-party availability.
One-Stop Service: Whether you’re operating a fleet of machines or a single shredder, our goal remains the same, to keep your operations running smoothly and efficiently. With our in-house welders joining our network of mobile heavy plant engineers, we’re better equipped than ever to deliver on that promise.
