Truck & trailer repairs in Palmerston North
Downtime costs money. We repair and modify truck bodies, decks, trailers and components, and we get your gear back on the road quickly with repairs built to last.
Overview
When a truck or trailer is off the road, it is costing you money. Our repair work is all about getting your gear back to work quickly, with repairs that are built to last rather than patched to get by. We repair truck bodies, decks, trailers and their components for owner-drivers, fleet operators, contractors and farmers across the Manawatū.
Most repairs start with a crack, a bent frame, a worn hinge or a damaged deck. We assess the damage, explain what needs doing and why, and fix it properly using the right materials and welding process for the job. If a part has failed because of the way it was designed, we will tell you, and we can strengthen or redesign it so it does not fail again.
We also carry out modifications and upgrades, such as adding toolboxes, fitting new headboards or ramps, changing a deck layout or adapting a trailer for a new job. Because we fabricate as well as repair, we can make replacement parts in-house instead of waiting on suppliers.

FAQs
Truck & trailer repairs: common questions
Do you repair both trucks and trailers?
Yes. We repair truck bodies, decks and frames as well as all kinds of trailers, from light box trailers to heavy transport, car transporter and skip trailers.
How quickly can you fit my repair in?
We understand that downtime costs money, so we prioritise getting vehicles back on the road. Smaller repairs are often done within a few days, and for bigger jobs we will give you an honest timeframe before we start.
Can you fix faults from a WOF or COF inspection?
Yes. We repair the faults inspections pick up, such as cracked welds, worn hinges and damaged deck or frame members, so the vehicle is ready for its recheck. We are also certified engineers and do LT400s, so a repair that needs certifying can be signed off here too.
Can you repair aluminium and stainless steel as well as steel?
Yes. We weld and repair mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel in-house, so we can handle alloy decks, toolboxes and stainless fittings as well as steel frames.
Will you tell me if something is not worth repairing?
Always. If a part is past repairing or a replacement would be better value, we will tell you straight and quote both options so you can decide.
