Equipment Refurbishing

IPI's equipment refurbishing program, located in Rockwell City, offers Iowa organizations a cost effective method to keep equipment in use longer while also allowing for improved reliability and safety. IPI's skilled incarcerated workers can refurbish a variety of types of equipment; from simple to complex projects, IPI will bring your outdated equipment back to life with a like-new condition.

Our capabilities include:

  • Sandblasting
  • Painting
  • Epoxy protective coatings
  • Small sheet metal repairs
  • Large metal reconstruction
  • Mechanical repairs
  • Parts replacement

Our wash bays, curing ovens and powder-coat rooms are large enough to accommodate equipment of all sizes. The types of equipment IPI has refurbished include:

  • Snow plows
  • Dump trucks
  • Signal trailers
  • Trailers
  • Truck beds

Both the environment and your budget benefit from equipment refurbishing. Not only is the cost of equipment refurbishing often substantially less than replacing with new equipment, but the existing equipment also stays in use for years to come and out of Iowa's scrap yards.

Please download the Equipment Refurbishing flyer for more details on this program.

IPI has established the following standard price* for sandblasting and painting of popular items:

  • Snow plow: $1,481
  • Wing plow: $739
  • Truck box: $2,450

For all other types of equipment or if repairs are needed, IPI will provide an estimate based on photos; a final quote shall be provided after physical inspection of the equipment at the shop.

Equipment refurbishing quotes can be requested using the form on this page or by contacting IPI Customer Service at 800-332-7922 or ipicustomerservice@iowa.gov.

*IPI does not provide pickup or delivery service for equipment refurbishing. Once a project has been quoted, appointments can be made by calling 712-297-7717.
