Warehouse & Fleet Repair
Dock plates, dock levelers, pallet racking, trailers, dumpsters and forklift attachments all wear out on their own schedule. RickTheWelder keeps warehouses, distribution centers and fleet operators running with onsite welding repair and regular maintenance accounts across New Castle and Kent County, Delaware and Eastern Maryland. Rick brings a mobile welding setup onsite, or bring it to our Townsend shop.

What We Repair
Dock plates and dock boards
Dock levelers: lips, hinges, hinge pins and deck welds
Pallet racking: base plates, column guards and end-of-aisle protectors
Trailers: frames, crossmembers, landing gear, ramps and doors
Dumpsters and roll-offs: floors, doors, hinges and pickup points
Forklift attachments: forks, carriages, clamps, booms and buckets
Bollards, guards, curb angles and other steel that takes hits
Welding and steel repair is what we do. If the problem is hydraulic or electrical, mention it when you call.
Regular Accounts and Fleet Maintenance
The best fit is a regular account. Rick gets to know your site, your equipment and your schedule, then handles repairs as they come up and on a set maintenance schedule, so small cracks get fixed before they take a dock door, a trailer or a forklift out of service.
Work can be scheduled around your shifts, including nights, Fridays and weekends. One call covers the docks, the racking, the trailers and the yard equipment.
To set up an account, call or text (302) 532-6240 or send a request online.
Onsite or at the Shop
Most repairs are done onsite: Rick brings a mobile welding setup to your dock, yard or lot. Trailers, attachments and smaller parts can also come to our shop in Townsend. Townsend is home base, and Rick travels up to 2 hours for big jobs.
More detail: dock plate and leveler repair, dumpster and roll-off repair, trailer repair, truck frame and dump bed repair and forklift and heavy equipment repair.
24/7, Including Nights, Fridays and Weekends
A dock door, trailer or forklift that's down costs you every load it can't move. RickTheWelder offers 24/7 emergency mobile welding, and we work nights, Fridays and weekends, so the repair can happen when it suits you instead of waiting for next week.
Call or text (302) 532-6240 any time. A photo of the damage helps Rick bring the right material.
