Truck & trailer repairs
Practical, lasting repairs that get your trucks and trailers back to work fast.
Truck & trailer fabrication in Palmerston North
From a single bracket to a complete skip loader gantry deck, we fabricate transport equipment in mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel to suit the way you work.
Overview
Off-the-shelf equipment rarely suits the way every operator works. We design and fabricate truck and trailer equipment in-house to fit your vehicle, your loads and your budget, from a single bracket to a complete skip loader gantry deck.
Our fabrication work includes truck decks and bodies, skip loader gantries, trailers and trailer components, headboards, toolboxes, ramps and all the brackets and fittings that tie them together. We build in mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel, choosing the right material for strength, weight and durability rather than whatever is easiest.
Every build starts with a conversation about what the equipment needs to do. We look at the vehicle, the loads you carry and how you work day to day, then build something practical and tough enough for New Zealand working conditions. Because it is all done in our Palmerston North workshop, you can call in to see progress and make changes along the way.

FAQs
Truck & trailer fabrication: common questions
Can you build a deck or body for my truck?
Yes. We build flat decks, skip loader decks, bodies and headboards to suit your truck and the work you do. Bring us the vehicle details and we will talk through the options.
Do you build complete trailers?
We build trailers and trailer components to order, and we can modify existing trailers for new jobs. Tell us what you need to carry and we will recommend a design and material.
Should my build be steel or aluminium?
It depends on the job. Steel is strong and cost-effective for heavy work, while aluminium saves weight, which can mean more payload and lower fuel costs. We will explain the trade-offs so you can choose with confidence.
Can you work from my own drawings?
Yes. We can build from your drawings or specifications, or start from a sketch or photo and develop the details with you.
Can you certify what you build?
Yes. We are certified engineers and do LT400 certification, so a new deck, gantry, trailer component or modification can be built and signed off in one place.
How long does a custom build take?
It depends on the size of the job and material availability. We will give you a realistic timeframe with your quote and keep you updated as the build progresses.
