Trailer & Equipment Welding Repair in Wilmington, DE

Utility, landscape, car-hauler, and boat trailers take a beating, and cracks tend to start at the same places: where the tongue meets the frame, around spring hangers, at crossmembers, and at ramp hinges.

Common trailer repairs

Hitches and couplers are safety-critical. A good welder will often recommend replacing a damaged coupler or safety-chain attachment with a rated, bolted or welded component rather than patching it, and will follow the manufacturer's instructions. Don't tow on a cracked tongue.

Equipment

Landscapers, contractors, and farms around New Castle County need bucket repairs, hard-facing, cracked loader arms, mower deck repairs, and attachment fabrication. Some of this is best done in a shop with the equipment cleaned and degreased first; some can be done in the field.

Aluminum trailers

Aluminum trailers need TIG or spool-gun MIG welding and a welder experienced with aluminum. Mention it in your request.

Questions about trailer & equipment repair

Can a cracked trailer frame be welded?
Usually, if the surrounding metal is sound. The welder will clean the crack, often drill crack-stop holes at the ends, weld it, and add a reinforcement plate or fishplate where appropriate. Heavily rusted frames may need sections replaced.
