Mobile Welding in Selma, CA

Selma is a city in Fresno County, 16 miles southeast of Fresno, at an elevation of 308 feet, and the second city in Fresno County, begun on a Central Pacific Railroad branch line in the 1870s. With 90 percent of U.S. raisins produced within eight miles of town, it took the slogan Raisin Capital of the World in 1963. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at vineyards, farms, homes and jobsites around Selma.

Home of the Peach

Wheat was Selma's first economic engine, until growers saw how well peaches, plums and grapes grew in the sandy soil, irrigated with snowmelt brought by canal from the nearby Sierra Nevada. The town once called itself the Home of the Peach, and through the 1960s the local peach cannery was a major seasonal employer. Vineyard equipment, bin trailers and farm machinery get repaired where they sit, because the rig carries engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.

For directions, a landmark helps: the old passenger depot downtown, now the police station, Selma High School, or the Floral Avenue exit off Highway 99.

Questions we hear

Do you come out to Selma?

Yes. Selma's first post office opened in 1880, and its police department dates to 1893. A local legend says the town was named for Selma Gruenberg Lewis, but the most probable namesake is Selma Michelsen Kingsbury. Highway 99 brings the rig right through town. Call or text and we'll set a time.

Can you repair raisin and vineyard equipment near Selma?

Yes. Broken bin dumper frames, bent canopy trimmer arms, cracked grape harvester conveyor frames and worn berm sprayer hitches get welded right in the vineyard. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.

Do you also cover Fresno?

Yes. Fresno is 16 miles up Highway 99 from Selma, and a job there is one more stop on that drive.

What hours do you work?

Regular hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After-hours and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, Monday - Saturday and are quoted up front. Call or text us to schedule.
