Construction Manufacturing Equipment
Whether you're producing oil field equipment or heavy-duty off-road truck axles, construction manufacturers need strength and durability. Ahaus expertly designs and builds workholding fixtures and special assembly machines for the construction sector.
We understand that in construction and heavy equipment manufacturing, your parts are big, your tolerances are tight, and your deadlines are real. Your equipment must stand up to harsh conditions, high forces, and extreme wear—and so must the machines and fixtures that build them.
Ahaus has decades of experience designing solutions for large, complex, heavy-duty components. From robust workholding to fully integrated automation, we help construction equipment manufacturers build stronger, smarter, and more repeatable processes.

Built to Handle the Heavyweights
Construction equipment parts aren’t delicate—they’re dense, rugged, and built for abuse. Our systems are too. Ahaus designs and builds custom equipment to handle the sheer weight, size, and force associated with components used in construction, mining, and oilfield machinery.
We have designed and built:
-
Workholding fixtures for gear cases, structural castings, and housings
-
Fixturing for differential housings, knuckles, and pump bodies
-
Special machines for axle and frame component subassemblies
-
Robust rotary fixtures for turning and inspecting large components
-
Automated handling equipment to safely move heavy parts through the production process
From large gear cases to frac pump turning fixtures, we’ve done it. Our team understands the special demands that come with manufacturing heavy-duty equipment and can engineer solutions that will perform in your toughest environments.
Durable Workholding
At the heart of many of our solutions is precision workholding—designed and built in-house to meet the exact needs of your part geometry and machining strategy.
In the construction equipment industry, that often means:
-
Massive components requiring robust clamping and stabilization
-
Complex castings with irregular surfaces and tight tolerance requirements
-
The need for repeatable locating and rigid support during heavy cuts
-
Integration with CNC machining centers or transfer lines
-
Flexibility to accommodate part families or variants
We have built many fixtures for the oil field industry, including large gear case fixtures and heavy-duty turning fixtures for pump components. We've also developed substantial fixturing solutions for off-road truck axles, ensuring safe handling and accurate machining of critical powertrain components.
With a background in Tool & Die and CNC Machining, Ahaus brings the kind of craftsmanship and production understanding that elevates our workholding from merely functional to truly performance-driven.
Efficient Automation
Heavy components often mean difficult manual handling and long cycle times. Ahaus automation systems are designed to address both—streamlining production while improving operator safety and ergonomics.
We design automation solutions that include:
-
Robotic loading and unloading for heavy parts
-
Palletized systems to reduce manual lifting
-
Automated pressing, torquing, and fastening equipment
-
Material handling systems that align with large part geometries
-
Error-proofing systems that ensure every part is built to spec
Our systems reduce the reliance on manual labor for difficult, repetitive, or risky tasks—freeing up your team to focus on higher-value work while increasing throughput and reducing injuries.
Every automation solution is custom-designed by our in-house engineering team to match your production layout, part specifications, and operational goals.
Designed for Your Environment
