Fabrication & Welding
Kocurek manufactures fabricated and welded structures for excavator front-end equipment, base-machine modifications and bespoke builds. Hosting decades of experience, our team combines fabrication and welding with in-house cutting and machining to turn individual components into complete equipment assemblies.

Welding & Fabrication Services
Since 1983, Kocurek has developed equipment for excavators working in demanding applications. Fabrication and welding are central to that work, bringing together the components that form each boom, dipper and specialist structure.
Our team considers how the finished equipment will be assembled and used, with manufacturing planned around the agreed design and machine requirements.
Excavator Component Fabrication
Fabrication turns prepared steel parts into the structures needed for specialist excavator equipment. Components are positioned and fitted together to form assemblies such as booms and dippers.
Kocurek’s in-house cutting and machining capabilities support this work, preparing the profiles and connection features needed for the fabrication.
Welding for Excavator Equipment
Welding joins the fitted components to create the finished equipment structure. The work follows the specified design, taking account of the material, joint arrangement and intended application.
Our welding capability supports the manufacture of specialist front-end equipment, base-machine modifications and bespoke builds.
Excavator Fabrication and Welding Repairs
Damaged excavator equipment may need repair rather than replacement. Kocurek can assess the affected component and advise whether a fabrication or welding repair is suitable.
The proposed work will depend on the damage, material and how the equipment is used. Contact our team to discuss the condition of your equipment and the available repair options.

In-House Fabrication & Welding
Keeping manufacturing in-house has long been central to Kocurek’s approach, championed by David Kocurek. Continued investment in equipment and expertise allows our fabrication and welding teams to work closely with the people designing and machining each component.
From preparing steel parts to joining the finished structure, we oversee the details that affect fit and assembly. This helps us coordinate fabrication and welding around the requirements of each excavator build or modification.
