Chicago, Illinois is built on food processing, rail, water reclamation, and heavy manufacturing. From Chicagoland's food plants, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, and the rail yards — plus the steel district just southeast in the Calumet region, the region’s industrial base is exactly the kind that keeps gearboxes turning around the clock. Aerators, clarifier drives, conveyors, and mill drives across these operations run on industrial gearboxes — and when one of those drives fails, downtime is measured in lost production every hour it sits. That’s the problem we solve for Chicago plants: fast, correct gearbox rebuilds that get the line running again.
We handle the clarifier and aerator drives, conveyor reducers, and rail/material-handling gearboxes common to Chicago operations, across every major brand — Falk, Sumitomo, NORD, SEW-Eurodrive, Dodge, Boston Gear, Winsmith, and more. A rebuild typically runs 40–60% of a new unit and ships in 5–14 business days, with 24–72-hour emergency service for breakdowns — a fraction of the 16–30 weeks a replacement unit can take to arrive. Every job goes to an AGMA-experienced gear shop with in-house gear cutting and magnaflux inspection, backed by our years in the industrial equipment business, and we move units to and from Chicago on free nationwide freight so you’re never limited to whoever happens to be down the street.
Just as important for Chicago facilities: we buy surplus. If a rebuild isn’t the smart move — cracked housing, unavailable gears, or a common unit you can replace cheaper — we’ll tell you straight and pay cash for the old gearbox instead of letting it rust in a corner. Plant shutdown or line change in the Chicago area? We buy failed, obsolete, and surplus gearboxes and gearmotors by the unit or the truckload. It’s the same transparent, two-way approach we run everywhere: every price on the table, and we never hold your equipment hostage after teardown.
