Seven Years Of Making Old Iron Look Brand New
Gringo's Industrial Services started with a simple observation: moving a crane to a paint shop costs more than the paint. So we built a company that goes to the equipment instead.
A Full-Service Refurbish, Repair & Painting Contractor
Gringo's Industrial Services specializes in heavy equipment, cranes, SPMTs, commercial metal buildings and warehouses. Our process includes rust removal by sandblasting, grinding, and any and all surface prep before priming and painting any surface — using specific products chosen to remove and treat each surface.
For the last seven years we have specialized in refurbishing large cranes and heavy lift equipment: an LR1250 ring crane in South Carolina, a Liebherr LR 8800 in Rhode Island, and the everyday LR2800 and LR1350 machines in between. We strip down 4- and 6-wheel axle submersible trailers and make them look brand new in their company colors.
Our unique ability is that we travel wherever we are needed to paint your equipment — saving you transport charges by working in your yard or on site before the asset moves to its next project. We use environmentally friendly solutions when doing our work, and our prices are reasonable.
No project is too big or small.
- Prep Before PaintRust removal by sandblasting, grinding, and any and all surface prep before a drop of primer goes down. Shortcuts here show up two years later.
- Go Where The Work IsSeven years travelling Texas and the U.S. for crane companies and heavy haul operators. If the iron cannot come to us, we go to it.
- Leave It CleanEnvironmentally friendly solutions, proper containment and responsible waste handling on every customer property we work on.

Four Steps, Every Single Job
Whether it is a single generator or an LR11350 with 120 meters of boom, the sequence does not change. Coatings fail because someone skipped a step, not because they bought the wrong paint.
Walk The Equipment
We look at the asset — in person or from your photos — and identify corrosion, coating failure, pitting and anything that needs repair before coating.
Prep The Steel
Degrease, sandblast, power tool clean and grind. Rust and scale come off. Welds and edges get treated. This is where the job is won or lost.
Treat & Prime
Specific products are chosen for that substrate and exposure, then primer goes down on clean, profiled steel while it is still ready to receive it.
Finish In Your Colors
Topcoat in your exact company colors with clean numbering and logo layout, so the machine drops back into your fleet looking factory fresh.

What Our Customers Say
“They painted our LR11350 in Dayton without us moving a single section to a shop. 120 meters of boom and luffer, done in our yard, and the machine went straight to the next job looking better than the day we bought it.”
“We had six axle lines of SPMT that looked twenty years old. Gringo's stripped them down, handled the rust and put them back in our colors. Our clients notice the equipment now, and they notice it for the right reason.”
“Our warehouse envelope was chalked out and streaking rust at every seam. They phased the work bay by bay so we never shut down a dock door, and the prep was the most thorough I have seen from a coatings crew.”
