Riggs Machine & Welding serves Granbury and Hood County customers from our Stephenville shop — about 40 miles west on US-377. We are a full-service machine shop and welding operation handling machining, fabrication, trailer repair, tractor PTO service, metal supply, and more.
Granbury is the county seat of Hood County and sits about 40 miles east of Stephenville on US-377. Customers from the Granbury area come to us when they need precision machine shop work, structural welding, trailer repair, or agricultural equipment service that is not available locally. We have been at this location since 1978 serving the broader region.
Call before you leave so we can confirm availability and have everything staged for your job when you arrive.
Granbury is about 40 miles from our Stephenville shop via US-377. Hood County property owners, ranchers, and contractors who need precision machine work — lathe turning, milling, boring, shaft repair, custom parts — make the drive to us because there is no comparable full-service machine shop closer.
We take on structural welding and custom fabrication for Granbury-area customers. Whether it is a cracked trailer frame, a broken equipment mount, a custom gate, or a structural project for a property or business, we work in steel, iron, and aluminum with MIG, TIG, and stick.
Granbury sits at the crossroads of US-377 and US-167, where a lot of equipment hauling happens. We stock the trailer parts most likely to need replacement — axles, bearings, hubs, lights, and couplers — and handle most trailer repairs the same day.
Rural Hood County operations depend on tractors and implements staying functional. We repair PTO shafts, rebuild drivelines, service gearboxes, and source parts for most tractor makes. Granbury customers have been bringing equipment to Stephenville for this kind of work for decades.
We fabricate and install steel and aluminum flatbeds on full-size pickup trucks. Granbury contractors and landowners who haul regularly get real value from a properly built work bed. We fit each bed to the specific truck with toolbox, stake pocket, and headache rack options.
We build custom chip spreaders for dump trucks and skid steer loaders used on chip seal, road maintenance, and aggregate spreading jobs around Granbury. Units are fabricated at our Stephenville shop for durable, real-world use.
Granbury welders and hobbyists who need consumables without placing an online order can come to our supply counter. Rods, MIG wire, flux-core wire, helmets, gloves, and grinding supplies are stocked for walk-in customers during regular hours.
We sell structural steel by the piece and cut it to your length on the spot. No minimum order. Granbury customers driving US-377 West can pick up angle iron, tubing, flat bar, and plate the same day without a lead time or delivery wait.
We stock oxygen, acetylene, argon, CO2, and mixed gas for cylinder exchange. Granbury welders can combine a supply run with a cylinder swap in a single trip to Stephenville — no waiting for a refill.
