Repair isn't always the answer. We'll say so, buy your unit for cash, and often supply a tested used replacement from surplus stock the same week.
Gears, gearboxes, bearings, sprockets, roller chain, couplings — from packaging-line gearmotors to 40-foot mill girth gears. If it transmits power, it's our business.
When a gearbox, girth gear, or drive train component goes down, a plant loses money by the hour — and the choice you make in the first phone call decides whether you are back up in days or waiting months on an OEM quote. GearRepair.com exists to make that call easy. We are the flagship gear repair and buyback network of Industrial Surplus World, a Houston-based industrial buyer and reseller with more than 20 years and 2,400+ completed equipment deals across every manufacturing sector in North America.
Our network shops run rebuilds in 8–12 business days standard — typically 2–3 days faster than conventional gear shops and a fraction of the 16–30 week factory lead time on new industrial units. We do it by keeping teardown, inspection, gear cutting, grinding, and bearing replacement under one roof, holding common bearing and seal inventory in stock, and pre-staging your job from the nameplate photo you send before the unit ever hits the dock. For a line-down emergency, our 24–72 hour rush service includes free expedited freight both directions.
Two structural advantages keep our numbers below competitor quotes. First, we are surplus buyers as well as rebuilders: our warehouse network holds tested used gearboxes and take-out gear sets, so when a repair is not worth the money we can sell you a proven replacement at 40–70% off list instead of forcing a rebuild. Second, there is no middleman — you deal directly with the network that does the work, not a broker layering 20% on top. That is why we publish our gear repair price guide openly — new price, wholesale, used, scrap value, the competitor estimate, and our number, side by side. No other shop in the industry shows you all seven figures.
Plants from Houston refineries to Great Lakes steel mills know Industrial Surplus World from two decades of buying and selling their equipment. Our rebuild work is performed by AGMA-experienced gear shops, every unit ships with inspection reports and a workmanship warranty, and references from maintenance managers and plant engineers are available on request for any major job. We repair every brand — Falk, SEW-Eurodrive, Flender, Sumitomo, Philadelphia, Lufkin and 35+ more — and every component in the power transmission chain, from bearings, sprockets, and roller chain to 20-foot girth gears.
Your goal is simple: maximum uptime at minimum total cost. Our answer is one phone number that covers every outcome — repair it (cheaper and faster than the competition), replace it (tested used or surplus stock), or sell it (cash offer for the failed unit, freight on us). Whichever way the math works for your plant, we make money moving iron, not padding invoices. Send a nameplate photo to (641) 519-6270, use the instant quote app, or drop the form below — you will have real numbers the same day.
