Corrosion protection for heavy equipment isn’t just about durability — it’s about maximizing uptime, safety, and long-term return on investment in the world’s toughest environments.
Whether dealing with earth-moving equipment or cranes, maintenance solutions aimed at controlling corrosion are a crucial aspect of industrial operations, ensuring the longevity, safety, reliability and efficiency of heavy equipment and infrastructure.
By adopting effective corrosion control practices, you may report significant savings, ranging from about 15% to 35% of corrosion-related expenses. While maintenance practices are widespread and varied, the protective coatings offered by RIE Coatings are a fundamental part of equipment manufacturing and can help mitigate common corrosive effects from developing.
RIE Coatings brings decades of industry experience and deep technical expertise backed by premium services. From delivering quotes within 24 hours to customizing coatings to your specifications, trust us to meet your expectations for any surface, quantity or size.
Our entire custom coating process occurs in-house, providing a performance-driven finish verified through nondestructive testing and custom packaging to your expectations.
Elevate your manufacturing process with coatings for threaded fasteners, stampings, nuts, bolts, screws and miscellaneous hardware. We apply Magni 501, Magni 525 and Magni 565 and meet performance specifications from Bobcat and Caterpillar — PS106 and Cat 1E1675.

This chrome-free, zinc-rich coating replaces standard zinc plating and offers excellent protection for general use. We apply a single, thin layer of this coating on fasteners, screws and other hardware for long-term corrosion resistance.
Magni 501 shields components from fluids while eliminating the hydrogen embrittlement risk.
This duplex coating system combines a zinc-rich, inorganic basecoat with an organic topcoat. It’s best for external parts exposed to UV radiation and other harsh outdoor elements.
A chrome-free duplex coating featuring an aluminum-rich organic topcoat and a zinc-rich base coat. It’s popular among leading heavy equipment OEMs because of its superior corrosion protection of critical joints.
Magni 565 integrates a friction modifier that is critical in maintaining precise torque to ensure safety and reliability.
Coating the small, vital components of heavy equipment and trucks ensures functionality and safety. We use our engineered surface treatments in different applications:
Nuts, bolts and U-bolts provide the primary connection securing the suspension, axles and frame. The conditions in this area — mud, moisture, and gravel — cause corrosion, placing structural stress on these components and causing them to weaken over time.
Our high-performance coatings build a protective layer to minimize the effects of corrosion on chassis and undercarriages. We also coat stampings to ensure that your brake lines and wiring harnesses remain secure.
The engine bay experiences temperature fluctuations, constant vibrations and fluid exposure. To ensure reliable performance and operator safety, coatings prevent fasteners and bolts from seizing and ensure they maintain their clamping force.
Maintaining corrosion-free components ensures that hydraulic lines remain sealed and pumps and cylinders remain mounted to prevent fluid leaks. Component coatings also preserve accurate torque and secure hydraulic hoses.
The fasteners and bolts you use to mount the brackets and pivot points of conveyor belts, booms, robotic arms and other industrial machinery undergo immense stress.
Industrial equipment coatings prevent corrosion, seizing and failure for operational safety and precision. They also ensure that the mounting hardware for actuators and gearboxes maintains its clamping force.
Protective coatings provide various benefits that directly affect an asset’s performance, total cost of ownership and safety:
Choose RIE Coatings whether you want coatings for construction equipment or solutions for industrial machinery.
