Most shops only want to work on what’s new and easy. At Riteway, we specialize in the tools that other shops won't touch. From vintage industrial drill presses and metal brakes to pneumatic pipe threaders and hydraulic log splitters, we combine mechanical repair with custom fabrication.
If you’ve scrolled to the bottom of Google looking for the one person who can actually handle an "odd-ball" repair or a custom modification, you’ve found the right place.
The "Odd-Ball" Index:
Fabrication Tools: Pipe Benders, Metal Brakes, and Large-Scale Saws.
Pneumatics & Hydraulics: High-pressure cylinders and pneumatic crushing tools.
Outdoor Industrial: Heavy-duty log splitters and specialty arbor equipment.
Custom Parts: When the manufacturer no longer exists, we fabricate the solution.
If your mobility is hindered, Mike has been dreaming up solutions for you. He sees the outrageous cost of disablity accessibility units and their poor quality materials, and he finds or builds superior solutions to the run of the mill predatory market practices for the disabled community. Have someone who will roll a mile in your chair to understand your needs and listen to your needs, and not cost you an arm and leg just to help you use your own.
Our expertise and understanding of mechanical operations and industrial aplications allows us to modify or completely build attachments to suit your particular needs for the job. If you've ever thought "If only I could just do [this]"- well you can actually do [that]. Custom claws and grips, articulation, mounting, and impressive structural over-engineering that can wistand not only the job... but also the operator.
Our knowledge of hydraulics and fabrication allows us to not only test hydraulic cylinders ourselves, but to actually build Hydraulic cylinder testers. This beast is crafted out of plate steel, designed to the specs of the business needing excatly this. Pre-made solutions used to be the more affordable choice- but these days, not so much. Don't get gouged on price for subpar equipment that's designed to fail, let us gouge you nearly the same price for a unit that will last longer than you do.
Standard repair shops stop when a part is no longer in stock; we keep going. Our facility is equipped for custom lathe work and precision machining, allowing us to replicate- and modify for better use- discontinued bolts, specialized pins, and unique mechanical fasteners. We don't just fix equipment—we engineer the solutions needed to keep legacy systems operational.
Final precision-machined bolts ready for installation in specialized industrial equipment. Notice the size is slightly different, after reviewing the original, Mike determined a modification was needed to the original for better functionality.
Utilizing precision shop lathes for the custom fabrication of mission-critical production parts, with a deep understanding of the purpose. A machine shop will give you exactly the specs of the part you bring in- which is great.. unless the original part wasn't good enough to begin with. Mike modifies to needs.
When standard equipment doesn't meet the unique demands of your workspace, we build what you need. A prime example is this custom-engineered shop stove, designed and fabricated in-house over 18 hours of intensive planning and assembly. Built entirely from reclaimed scrap metal, this unit features a sophisticated internal baffle system to maximize heat retention and a precision-leveled top surface for dual-purpose cooking. It’s more than just a heater; it’s a prototype for our next generation of high-efficiency shop stoves, proving that we can turn raw material into high-performance production assets.
We design and build custom racking, shelving, and specialized tie downs to optimize industrial workspaces and trailers. If you need parts that are obsolete or specialty, we can custom fabricate the required component. We also specialize in building custom tools, drills, and saws to solve unique operational challenges, and bring your wonderful ideas to life. Don't wait on the realisation of your dreams, contact Mike and the Riteway team, and make it happen now.
