Reliable Trailer Repair & Fabrication

At 704 Diesel & Welding Services, we handle trailer repair and trailer fabrication work for customers who need safe, dependable equipment that is ready to work. Trailers take a beating on the road, on job sites, on farms, and around heavy equipment. Over time, frames crack, decks wear out, lights fail, fenders get damaged, ramps bend, and welds break down. We help fix those problems the right way so your trailer can get back to hauling with confidence.

We are a local company established in 2022 and run by Matt Harris. We serve customers within about 50 miles of Marshville, NC, including much of the Charlotte area and nearby parts of North Carolina and South Carolina. Depending on the job, we can perform trailer repairs in our shop or provide mobile service when on-site work makes the most sense. Our goal is simple: give you honest service, solid workmanship, and repairs or fabrication that hold up.

What Our Trailer Repair Service Covers

We work on many common trailer problems, from minor damage to more involved structural repairs. Every trailer is a little different, so we start by looking at the condition of the trailer, identifying safety concerns, and understanding how you use it. That helps us recommend the most practical repair.

• Frame and structural trailer repair
• Cracked or broken weld repair
• Tongue, coupler, and jack repairs
• Ramp, gate, and hinge repair
• Floor and deck repair or replacement
• Fender repair and replacement
• Axle, suspension, and mounting repairs
• Light bracket, support, and metal component repair
• Rust damage repair and steel replacement
• Custom reinforcement for weak or damaged areas

If your trailer has fatigue cracks, bent steel, broken crossmembers, damaged braces, or worn trailer components, we can inspect the issue and make the needed repairs. We focus on strength, fit, and function so the repaired area performs like it should.

Trailer Fabrication Services

Not every trailer problem has an off-the-shelf fix. In many cases, custom metal fabrication is the best way to improve how a trailer works or restore a trailer that has seen years of use. We provide trailer fabrication services for customers who need parts repaired, replaced, modified, or built to fit a specific purpose.

Our fabrication work may include:

• Custom trailer ramp fabrication
• Gate fabrication and reinforcement
• Tool box mounts and equipment mounts
• Replacement brackets, tabs, and supports
• Stake pockets, tie-down points, and D-ring mounts
• Custom rails, sides, and structural additions
• Deck supports and crossmember fabrication
• Fender brackets and step fabrication
• Trailer tongue modifications
• Heavy-duty reinforcement for work trailers

If you use your trailer for hauling equipment, materials, vehicles, or job site tools, custom fabrication can make loading easier, improve durability, and help the trailer match the way you actually use it. We build with function in mind, not guesswork.

Types of Trailers We Commonly Work On

We service many kinds of trailers used by contractors, equipment owners, farmers, landscapers, and property owners. If you are not sure whether your trailer is something we can help with, just give us a call and tell us what you have.

• Utility trailers
• Equipment trailers
• Flatbed trailers
• Landscape trailers
• Car haulers
• Work trailers
• Farm trailers
• Heavy-duty custom trailers

Some trailers need a straightforward repair. Others need a better long-term solution because they are used hard every day. We can help with both.

Common Trailer Problems We See

Years of loading, unloading, weather exposure, road vibration, and overuse can create serious wear. Small issues often turn into bigger problems if they are ignored. A cracked weld can spread. Rust can weaken support members. A bent ramp can make loading unsafe. That is why timely trailer repair matters.

Some of the most common issues we address include poor welds, broken spring hangers, damaged couplers, rotted wood decking, rusted steel decking supports, cracked frames, damaged loading gates, and worn attachment points. We also see trailers that were previously patched in a way that did not last. In those cases, we work to correct the problem with stronger, cleaner repair work.

Our Process

We believe good service starts with clear communication. When you contact us about trailer repair or fabrication, we will talk through the trailer type, the problem you are seeing, how the damage happened, and whether the trailer is safe to move. From there, we can determine whether the work should be done in the shop or on-site.

Our process typically includes:

1. Discussing the issue and your trailer usage
2. Inspecting the damaged or weak areas
3. Identifying structural, mechanical, or welding-related concerns
4. Recommending a repair or fabrication plan
5. Completing the welding, metal repair, reinforcement, or custom fabrication
6. Checking fit, function, and overall job quality before the trailer goes back into service

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all repairs. A trailer used for light weekend work has different needs than one hauling machines every day. We take that into account when planning the job.

When to Schedule Trailer Repair

If you notice cracked welds, sagging ramps, unusual flex in the frame, deck damage, rust holes, loose components, or trouble loading and towing, it is a good time to have your trailer checked. Waiting usually leads to more damage and a more expensive repair. Getting ahead of the problem can help protect your trailer, your load, and your time.

Whether you need structural trailer welding, trailer frame repair, custom trailer fabrication, or general trailer metal repair, we are ready to help. If your trailer is worn out, damaged, or needs modifications to do its job better, contact 704 Diesel & Welding Services today. We will take a look, explain your options, and help you get your trailer back in working shape.
