What L&H does
L&H Industrial, founded in 1964 and headquartered in Gillette, Wyoming, is a privately held, third-generation family-run provider of design, engineering, manufacturing, repair, and monitoring services for heavy industrial machinery serving mining, energy, aerospace, defense, railroad, and cement operators globally. The company's core technology stack combines precision machining, large fabrication, welding, gear grinding, hard chrome plating, heat treating, and the Ops IQ AI-enabled monitoring and controls platform, which delivers predictive maintenance through anomaly detection on sensor telemetry covering wear, temperature, pressure, vibration, fluid levels, RPMs, contaminants, and energy consumption. Notable engineering capabilities include NASA crawler-transporter components machined to +/- 0.0002-inch tolerances, electric rope shovel undercarriages outlasting OEM systems by at least 30%, and forged dragline walking arms extending service life by up to 50%.
L&H operates from more than 500,000 square feet of manufacturing and service facilities across the United States (Gillette, Sheridan, Tempe, Hermosa), Canada (Edmonton), Mexico (Cananea, Saltillo), and Chile (La Negra), and holds ISO 9001:2015, API, HUBZone, DIBBS/DLA, and AGMA credentials. Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-based engagements and multi-year service contracts with enterprise customers, supplemented by a distributed-products channel reselling complementary parts from partner brands including FURLAN, CMS Cepcor, ITR America, and Nord-Lock. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales with 24/7 responsive field services and direct technical engagement on mission-critical assets for customers such as NASA, Vale, ASARCO, Evergy, and BNSF Railway.
