Trailer and fleet welding on the I-65 corridor
Frames, ramps, hinges and tie downs fixed where the trailer sits. Call (463) 222-0589.
Every excavation outfit around Greenwood owns more trailer than machine, and trailers take the abuse quietly until a ramp hinge lets go on load out morning. Greenwood Equipment Welding fixes equipment trailers, dump trailers and service bodies at your yard, with cargo securement hardware, the D rings and stake pockets a DOT inspection looks at, welded to hold.
The rules behind frame repairs
Trailer frames on commercial vehicles are regulated steel. Under 49 CFR 393.201, a repair cannot weaken the frame and welding on frame rails follows the manufacturer's guidance. That is why our frame quotes sometimes include a bolted or plated reinforcement rather than a bare weld: it is the difference between a repair that passes the next roadside inspection and one that fails it. Hardware, cross members, ramps and decking carry no such restriction and repair fast.
Fleet work beyond trailers
Box truck door tracks and roll up frames, service body compartments, liftgate mounts, snow plow frames and salt spreader repairs run through the same truck. Warehouse fleets near the new distribution buildings pair this with dock and racking work in a single scheduled visit, and heavy iron gets covered on the bucket and boom pages.
Trailer questions
Can a cracked trailer frame be welded legally?
It depends where the crack is. Federal rule 49 CFR 393.201 says frame repairs on commercial vehicles must not weaken the frame and welded repair is limited to the manufacturer's guidance. In practice that means many frame cracks become a reinforcement repair, welded plus plated, and some cross member and hardware repairs are straightforward welds. We know which is which and quote accordingly.
What trailer repairs do you do most?
Ramp hinges and torn ramp lattice, cracked cross members, broken tie down D rings and stake pockets, dovetail damage, fender mounts and tongue repairs. Most land in our published $300 to $950 range and finish in one visit.
Do you repair aluminum trailers?
Yes, we carry spool gun capability for aluminum decks, ramps and toolboxes. Aluminum bills at the top of the hourly range because prep and technique are slower than steel.
Can you come to a yard and go through the whole fleet?
That is the efficient way. One trip fee, a walk through with your list, and every trailer gets its tie downs, ramps and lights brackets fixed in one billing block. Fleets along the I-65 corridor book these as standing quarterly visits.
