Onsite Crankshaft Repair for Caterpillar & Cummins Engines

When a crankshaft fails, the downtime can be crippling—especially for industries relying on heavy-duty Caterpillar and Cummins engines. Over the last four decades, RA Power Solutions has specialized in on site crankshaft repair and grinding, offering a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to crankshaft replacement.

Why Crankshaft Repair Matters?

Crankshafts in large engines like Caterpillar 3616 or Cummins diesel generators operate under extreme loads. Failures often arise from:

  • Lubrication breakdowns

  • Bearing failures

  • Excessive wear or scoring on crankpins and main journals


Traditionally, this meant removing the crankshaft and sending it to a workshop—a process that can take weeks. RA Power Solutions changes the equation with portable, onsite crankshaft grinding machines designed for precision work at the client’s site.
