Trailer Body Repair Services

Yes, our mobile trailer body repair service brings professional repair capabilities directly to your location. Here's how our mobile service works:

• On-Site Assessment: Our technicians come to your facility, terminal, or breakdown location to evaluate the damage and determine repair requirements.
• Mobile Repair Capabilities: Our fully-equipped service vehicles carry specialized tools, welding equipment, and commonly needed materials to handle most repairs on-site, including:
  • Panel repairs and replacements
  • Welding repairs (aluminum and steel)
  • Minor to moderate structural repairs
  • Corrosion treatment and repair
  • Hardware and fastener replacement
• Geographic Coverage: We provide mobile service throughout our service area with rapid response times for emergency repairs.
• Scheduling Options: We offer flexible scheduling for non-emergency repairs to minimize disruption to your operations.

For extensive repairs requiring specialized equipment or controlled environmental conditions, we may recommend transporting the trailer to our repair facility. In these cases, we can help arrange transportation if needed.

Our mobile service significantly reduces downtime by eliminating the need to transport the trailer to a repair facility, getting your equipment back in service faster and reducing logistical complications.

Repair timelines vary significantly depending on the type and extent of the damage. Here are typical timeframes for common trailer body repairs:

• Minor Panel Damage: 1-4 hours for dent repairs, small puncture repairs, or limited area treatment
• Single Panel Replacement: 6-10 hours depending on panel type, size, and mounting system
• Multiple Panel Replacements: 1-3 days depending on the number of panels and complexity
• Corner Post Replacement: 8-12 hours
• Top Rail Repairs: 8-16 hours depending on length and extent of damage
• Structural Repairs: 1-5 days depending on severity and complexity
• Extensive Collision Damage: 5-10+ days for major reconstruction
• Corrosion Remediation: 1-4 days depending on the extent of corrosion

Factors that can affect repair time include:

• Material availability (though we stock common repair materials)
• Weather conditions for outdoor mobile repairs
• Discovery of additional damage during the repair process
• Trailer type and construction method
• Special materials or techniques required

We provide detailed time estimates with our repair quotes and prioritize emergency repairs to minimize your downtime. For fleet customers, we can develop repair schedules that work with your operational needs and maintenance cycles.

We use high-quality materials that match or exceed original specifications for all trailer body repairs:

• Aluminum Panels: Industry-standard thickness and grade aluminum sheets that match your trailer's original specifications. We work with various alloys appropriate for trailer applications.
• FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) Panels: High-quality fiberglass-reinforced panels from reputable manufacturers in appropriate thicknesses and finishes to match your existing trailer.
• Steel Components: Appropriate grade and gauge steel for structural repairs, including high-tensile steel where required for structural integrity.
• Composite Materials: Modern composite panels and materials for specialized trailer applications.
• Fasteners: Commercial-grade fasteners designed specifically for trailer applications, including:
  • Stainless steel rivets
  • Corrosion-resistant screws and bolts
  • Specialty fasteners for specific trailer designs
  • Self-sealing fasteners where appropriate
• Sealants and Adhesives: Commercial-grade sealants designed for transportation applications to ensure water-tight integrity and prevent leakage.
• Welding Materials: Proper filler metals and welding rods specifically designed for transportation applications and appropriate for the base metals being joined.
• Corrosion Protection: High-quality primers, anti-corrosion coatings, and protective treatments to prevent future corrosion issues.
• Finishing Materials: Paint and finishing products that match your fleet colors and provide durable protection.

We can source materials to match specific fleet standards or specifications, including custom colors, finishes, and dimensions. All materials we use are selected for durability in the demanding environment of commercial transportation.
