Nicco Gearbox Repair in Fontana
When a Nicco gearbox starts making noise, running hot or shedding metal into its oil, the machine behind it is living on borrowed time. We rebuild Nicco gearboxes working in crane, hoist and material-handling drives in ports, mills and heavy fabrication shops at our Fontana shop at 14166 Whittram Ave — strip and measure every gear, shaft and bearing, manufacture what can no longer be bought, and return a box that runs to specification. Everything is done under one roof by the crew that quoted the job, with no work farmed out and no parts swapped on guesswork.

How Nicco gearboxes wear — and what we do about it
The Nicco units that reach our bench most often show hoist gear tooth fatigue from repeated lift cycles, travel-drive bearing wear, and brake-side heat damage on drives that hold loads all shift. At teardown we record backlash, tooth contact patterns, bearing condition, shaft wear and housing bore condition before anything is quoted — then we renew what the measurements condemn: bearings and seals as a set, shafts restored or made new, and gears cut in-house when the original is worn past saving or discontinued. Backlash and preload are set to specification and the finished box is run-checked before it leaves Fontana.

Frequently asked questions
Can you rebuild a Nicco hoist gearbox?
Yes — lift-cycle fatigued gearing is measured and renewed or cut in-house, bearings and seals are replaced as a set, and backlash is reset so loads lift and hold without drift.
What are the warning signs a gearbox needs attention?
New noise under load, rising operating temperature, metal in the oil, leaking seals and growing backlash are the usual warnings — catching them early is the difference between a bearing-and-seal renewal and a full gear replacement.
Do you offer rush gearbox repair?
Yes — 24-hour rush and emergency service runs every day of the year. Call (800) 821-3404 or (949) 400-2937.
