Trailer Repair

Cracked frames, broken hitches, sprung gates and rusted-out floors, welded and back on the road. Our fully equipped rig brings its own power, so your trailer doesn't have to make the trip into town.

Frames, tongues and hitches

A cracked frame rail, a split crossmember or a tongue that's started to flex gets ground out, welded full depth and reinforced where it needs it, so the repair carries the load. We rebuild coupler and hitch mounts, weld on new safety chain anchors and replace bent or broken jack mounts.

Gates, ramps and tailgates

Dump trailer gates, equipment ramps and utility tailgates take a beating every time they drop. Worn hinges, cracked gate frames and broken latches get rebuilt and set back square, so they swing, seal and latch the way they should.

Floors, fenders and everything in between

Rusted-through steel floors get cut out and patched or replaced, and the smaller parts that hold a trailer together get the same care.

  • Frame rails, crossmembers and tongues
  • Hitch, coupler and safety chain mounts
  • Dump gates, ramps, tailgates and hinges
  • Steel floors and deck patches
  • Fenders and fender brackets
  • Spring hangers and axle mounts
  • Stake pockets, D-rings and tie-down points
  • Toolbox, rack and spare tire mounts

Fixed where it's parked, or built in the shop

Most trailer repairs happen right where the trailer sits. The rig carries its own welder, torch and plasma cutter, so a broken trailer never has to be towed anywhere. When a job calls for a full floor or a new tongue, it goes on our 4 by 8 foot fabrication table and comes back ready to hitch up.

Questions we hear

Can you fix my trailer where it's parked?

Usually, yes. The rig brings its own power, torch and plasma cutter, so most frame, hitch and gate repairs happen right in your yard, pasture or jobsite.

What kinds of trailers do you work on?

Utility, dump, equipment, flatbed and car hauler trailers, along with the bumper-pull hitches and goosenecks that tow them.

Can a cracked trailer frame be welded?

In most cases, yes. The crack is ground out, welded full depth and, where the frame needs it, reinforced with plate or flat bar so the repair carries the load.

Are you certified?

Yes. Our welding is AWS certified: MIG 3G, flux core 3G on 0.045 212 wire, and dual shield 1G through 4G on 0.045 E71T wire.

What hours do you work?

Regular hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After-hours and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday, and are quoted up front. Call or text us to schedule.
