The conveyor couldn’t reach the nose of the trailer, so the front of every load went short. The belt was fine. The drive was mounted on top and in the way. Moving it underneath cleared the roof and let the belt fill the box.
Something isn’t working right
Usually it isn’t the part that’s broken.
A machine that half works. A bottleneck everybody has learned to live with. Something that keeps failing in the same place. The fix is often not a stronger version of what’s there — it’s a different arrangement of it.
Two that looked like breakages
Both of these were layout problems
Trucks were leaving partly loaded.
A pump that took two men and half a shift to service.
The motor sat directly above the pump, so the motor came off first — every single time, for routine work. Nothing was broken. The stack was the problem. Splitting the levels meant the pump lifts straight out on its own.

Show me what it’s doing
Photos, and a video of it running. That tells me more in thirty seconds than a description does in ten minutes. Site visit if it needs one.
02
I work out what’s actually causing it
Sometimes that’s a redesign. Sometimes it’s moving one thing a foot to the left. You get told which, before you commit to anything.
03
You get a package a shop can quote
Model, shop drawings, cut files, nests, hardware schedule — and where it matters, the order to install it in without pulling the line apart twice.
If it’s a five-minute answer, you’ll get it on the phone and it won’t cost you anything. If it’s a real job, I’ll tell you what it takes before you spend a dollar.
Start anywhere
Tell me what you’re trying to build
A phone call and a few photos is enough to know whether this is worth either of our time. If it isn’t, I’ll say so.
