Custom Pumping Unit Parts, Machined In-House
When a part for your unit isn’t on any shelf — because nobody makes it anymore — we machine it. Two HAAS CNC centers, run by our own machinists, turn out pinions, wrist-pins, and shafts to spec. It’s a capability almost no competitor in the Permian has.
Bring us the part or the spec. We’ll tell you if we can make it — usually, we can.
Parts Made to Spec, in Our Own Shop
Most pumping unit shops send custom parts out — or tell you they can’t get them. We make them here. On two HAAS CNC centers, our machinists cut high-speed and intermediate pinions, wrist-pins, tail shafts, saddle shafts, and the miscellaneous parts a forty-year-old unit needs to keep running.
It’s the same in-house capability that lets us rebuild used units like new and turn repairs around without waiting on an outside supplier.
A Capability Almost No Competitor Has
A real machine shop isn’t cheap or common. Our two HAAS centers are a two-million-dollar investment apiece — and the machinists who run them have years on the controls. That combination is rare in the Permian: most shops can sell you a part if they can find one, but they can’t make one. We can.
It’s why operators — and other shops — bring us the jobs nobody else will take. We stock parts first; if it’s not on the shelf, we machine it.

Bearings Rebuilt In-House
Alongside the CNC work, our press shop rebuilds bearings in-house — another way we keep units running without waiting on an outside supplier. Rebuilt bearings go straight onto the shelf and into repairs, so the part’s ready the moment your unit needs it.
Parts for Units the Manufacturer Forgot
Plenty of units still pumping in the Permian were built decades ago, and the companies that made their parts are long gone. When the manufacturer has moved on, the part doesn’t have to be a dead end. Bring us the worn part or the dimensions, and we’ll machine a replacement — so an old, reliable unit keeps earning instead of getting scrapped.
