When we talk about scale in the industrial world, it’s easy to think about project output. While this is definitely a core part of the equation, from a manufacturing perspective, scale is defined by capacity and the physical ability to handle massive, high-wear components. For many operators, the challenge isn’t just finding a shop that can perform a repair—it’s finding one with the footprint and equipment to manage large-scale structural projects without sacrificing precision or lead times.
Based in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Manluk is proud to maintain facilities capable of handling the heavy-duty demands of the mining and related industries. From mining shovel bucket rebuilds to the fabrication of massive industrial skids, our approach is centred on providing the throughput and technical expertise required for the biggest jobs in the dirt.

Designed for Heavy Industrial Impact
Large-scale mining components face a unique set of stresses that go beyond handling standard surface wear to requiring tools to maintain structural integrity under intense loads. Manluk takes on large-scale projects with the mindset of improving a part’s total performance capacity through advanced manufacturing solutions that increase ROI and longevity.
Our capacity for heavy industrial projects includes:
- Mining Shovel & Bucket Rebuilds: We handle high-impact wear areas using automated weld overlays and custom-fit wear plates to ensure the structural core remains protected.
- Heavy Industrial Skids: We provide full-service turnkey fabrication for modular skids, ensuring they are built to withstand the rigours of transportation and site-specific environmental stressors.
- Large Structural Frames: Utilizing high-efficiency welding processes like MCAW, we can manage large-scale structural assemblies that smaller shops simply don’t have the floor space to accommodate.
The Advantage of Parallel Throughput
One of the biggest bottlenecks in heavy industry is the wait times caused by queues. Because large parts take up so much space and machine time, many shops can only handle one or two major projects at a time. This results in significant “vendor lag” that keeps your equipment out of the field and carries the invisible cost of reduced workflow.
Manluk protects our customers against these downfalls thanks to our size and scale. With over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 50+ CNC machines, we can run multiple stages of a large-scale project in parallel so you get exceptional results without having to compromise on quality or speed.
Quality Standards at Scale
Large parts shouldn’t mean loose tolerances. We apply the same rigid quality and calibration standards to a 20-ton mining component as we do to a precision-machined downhole tool. Our facility is equipped with large-scale coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and NDE-qualified staff to ensure that every rebuild or new build meets your specific QA/QC protocols.
