Repairs at Your Yard

Most container work is done right at your yard with our mobile rig, so you're not paying to haul cans back and forth. Our mobile rig carries everything needed for MIG, TIG and stick welding, cutting and fabrication. Line up the containers that need work, and we'll go down the row. Smaller jobs, like a single can or a set of lids, can also come to our Townsend shop.

Fix It or Replace It?

A new container costs a lot more than fixing a floor or a door on the one you've got. When the body is sound and the damage is in the usual places, the floor, the door, the hinges or a corner, welding it back with reinforcement where it broke puts it back in service for a fraction of the cost. If a can is too far gone, Rick will tell you straight.

Trucks and Hoists, Too

The trucks that carry the containers break too. We repair dump bodies, truck bodies, racks and attachments, the same work we do for contractors and equipment owners. See Heavy Equipment Repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you come to our yard?

Yes. Container repairs are done on site with the mobile rig. Call to set up a time and tell us roughly how many containers need work.

Can you replace a roll-off floor?

Floor sections can be cut out and new plate welded in. Send photos of the floor from inside the container and from underneath, and Rick will tell you what it needs.

Do you fix front-load dumpster lids and hinges?

Yes. Hinges, hinge bars, lid stops and pickup sleeves are common container repairs.

Do you paint after the repair?

We prime and paint on site where it makes sense. Ask when you call.
