The specialty
The liftgate is the part that strands you
A trailer with a dead gate is a trailer that cannot deliver, even when everything else on it is perfect.
That is the work this business was built around. A gate that will not lift, will not hold, drifts down under load or dies halfway is normally the pump motor assembly, the hydraulic valve body, a stretched or broken lift cable, or the wiring feeding all of it. We find out which one, order the part from the gate manufacturer, and fit it.
- HydraulicsPump motor assemblies, valve bodies, solenoid coils, lines and fittings
- LiftingLift cables and chains, rollers, platform hinges
- StructureCracked and bent platforms, re-welded in aluminium
- ElectricalControl switches, wiring runs and grounds
What we repair
Six things that put a trailer out of service
Every one of these is work in our own job photos. If it is not on this list, call and ask — we would rather tell you straight than take a job we are wrong for.
02
Trailer & Box Truck Flooring
Hardwood trailer floors split, rot and eventually blow through where the pallet jack rolls.
What this covers
03
Threshold & Rear Sill Plates
The rear threshold takes every wheel of every pallet jack that ever crossed it.
What this covers
04
Landing Gear
Bent, seized or sheared landing gear, replaced where the trailer is parked.
What this covers
05
Welding & Fabrication
Aluminium and steel welding on trailer structure, liftgate platforms, rails and mounts.
What this covers
06
Doors & Rear Hardware
Roll-up doors that bind, jump the track, or won't seal — plus everything around them.
What this coversBefore and after
Same truck. Same spot. One new threshold plate.
Two photos from the same job, shot from the same place in the doorway. Drag the handle — or use the arrow keys — to wipe between them.
Before
After
Threshold plate, box truck. The old plate had corroded through to an open hole and the seam had split, so a loaded pallet jack had nowhere safe to cross. Cut out, new steel diamond plate fitted, welded and set flush with the floor.
Mobile service
Your trailer does not have to move for us to fix it
Towing a dead trailer to a shop costs more than most of these repairs.
We work out of a service truck. Hydraulic parts, welding gear, hardwood, diamond plate and hand tools travel with us, so hydraulics, welding, flooring, threshold plates, landing gear and door hardware can all be done in the spot the trailer already occupies.
Some jobs genuinely need more than a driveway. If yours is one of them, we will say so on the phone instead of driving out, looking at it, and charging you to be told.

Where we work
Metro Atlanta and Middle Georgia
That is the area the business covers. Yards, lots, warehouse docks and the shoulder where the trailer stopped — if it is in the area and we can get a truck to it, we can usually work on it there.
Not sure whether you are inside it? Call and say where the trailer is. We will tell you yes or no rather than guess.
