Trailer panel damage happens frequently and may be worse than it appears, sometimes compromising the structural integrity of the trailer. Smith & Sons trained technician will investigate damages from every angle, taking all associated components into consideration to ensure safe and successful long-term repairs. From minor dents to complete rebuilds Smith & Sons can assist you with any trailer panel repair.

Roofs

Trailers are heavily reliant on the roof and rails for support, so even the smallest roof leak can compromise the trailer structure if not repaired correctly. Proper, timely roof repair results in less labor, downtime, damage, and money lost in the long run. Smith & Sons experienced technicians can repair or completely replace your roof correctly, quickly, and affordably to avoid any further damage.

Doors

Due to the amount of use trailer doors undergo, they will have to be repaired and replaced from time to time. Many costly swing and roll door replacements can be avoided by addressing the issue when the door first starts malfunctioning. Smith & Sons experienced technicians can expertly identify and address common trailer door weaknesses, from hinge damage and rot on swing doors, to broken panels and misaligned tracks in roll-up doors.

Floors

Trailer floor repairs are an inevitable part of trailer maintenance.  Just because the floor of your trailer looks fine, does not mean that it is. Frequent loading and unloading of cargo can impact the strength and durability of a trailer’s floor over time. From loose or rotted boards to cracks in aluminum or a weld separation, Smith & Sons can properly replace or repair your trailer floor.

Suspensions

Experiencing unusual tire wear-and-tear or increased steering wheel and in-cab vibration? Contact Smith & Sons now! Serious safety issues and extensive damage to the trailer can occur when one of the many components that make up a trailer’s suspension becomes worn or damaged. Our trailer technicians will carefully inspect and provide a complete diagnosis of your trailer suspension, as well as repair any problem you have.

Alignments

Left alone, wheel alignment issues have the potential to turn into serious steering and suspension issues. Not only does it put stress on your tires but also on trailer components as well. Smith & Sons alignment specialists keep your trailer running safely and efficiently by making sure your wheels are positioned to the trailer’s frame properly thus reducing tire wear, increasing gas mileage, and ensuring safer driving conditions. 

ABS Diagnosis & Repair

Daily wear-and-tear, dirt and debris and corrosion take a toll on trailer brakes and can affect braking stability and stopping distance.  Whether you need routine maintenance, drum/shoe and cylinder repair or replacement, brake pad and rotor replacement, wheel bearing re-packing and adjustments, or have a different brake-related issue, Smith & Sons got you covered.

Electrical/Lighting

Damage to a trailer’s lighting or electrical system is often challenging to diagnose and sometimes even more challenging to repair, depending on the location of the damaged element or wires. Smith & Sons technicians will identify malfunctioning wires and loose connections by isolating each area individually and tracing the lines until the problem is identified. 

Landing Gear

Most landing gear repairs are a result of not performing regular maintenance or misuse. Smith & Sons can check over your trailer’s landing gear system to identify early signs of damage, allowing you to get it taken care of before it gets worse.  Our trained technicians will make sure that everything is working the way it should and ensuring it is greased and in working order. 

ICC Bumpers

ICC Bumpers must be in working condition to avoid costly fines and potential liability. Damaged can occur from repeated docking operations or from an accident. Smith & Sons has experience with all trailer manufacturers, so you can be confident that your damaged ICC Bumper is always repaired or replaced using the proper parts and to factory specifications.

Custom Fabrication

If you have an existing trailer that no longer meets your needs, or are considering purchasing a new or used trailer that doesn’t have the exact specifications required for your business, modifications could be cheaper than purchasing a different trailer.  When it comes to trailer modifications, no job is too big or too small for Smith & Sons experienced team of trailer technicians.
