A Recent Repair

A customer brought this trailer to our Townsend shop with a cracked frame rail. We ground the damaged area down to clean metal, welded the crack, and reinforced it with a welded-on plate so it's stronger than before. The trailer is back in service and ready to haul.

Don't Wait for It to Fail

Frame cracks usually start small near spring hangers and other high-stress spots, and they grow fast under load. If you spot one, get it looked at before it turns into a breakdown on the road.
