About

About Black Iron Consulting

Owner-operated, field-based, and focused on cranes and heavy equipment in West Texas.

Black Iron Consulting was built around years of hands-on experience troubleshooting cranes, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, and heavy equipment in the field.

We understand that equipment downtime costs more than the repair itself. Downtime affects production, schedules, employees, and customers.

Our approach focuses on accurate troubleshooting, honest recommendations, safety, and helping customers make informed decisions about their equipment.

Whether we are inspecting a mechanics-truck crane, diagnosing a hydraulic problem, sourcing a hard-to-find part, or evaluating a piece of equipment before purchase, our goal is to provide knowledgeable support our customers can trust.

How We Work

Accurate answers before parts get ordered

Every job starts with understanding the equipment, the operating conditions, and what the operator is actually seeing. From there the work is measured, documented, and explained in plain language.

01

Understand

Symptoms, history, duty cycle, and what changed before the problem started.

02

Verify

Test and measure hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical systems to confirm the cause.

03

Recommend

Clear findings, repair options, safety concerns, and parts needed to get back to work.
