Pickup Chassis Welding Ireland
Working pickups rot from the back forward. We rebuild rear rails, crossmembers and spring hangers so the truck keeps earning.
In short
- On pickups, corrosion concentrates behind the cab: rear rails, the rear crossmember and spring hangers.
- Loads, tow work and wet ground accelerate it — a rotten spring hanger is a safety issue, not a cosmetic one.
- Sections are cut out and rebuilt in matching gauge steel, then sealed and coated.

Why pickups rot at the back
The rear of a pickup chassis sits behind the wheels and catches everything thrown up off the road. Add a load bay that holds water, a tow hitch that breaks the coating, and box sections that never dry, and the rear third of the frame takes the worst of it.
Spring hangers and shackle mounts are the areas to watch. They carry the load, they sit low, and they collect grit.

Frequently asked questions
Can a rotten pickup rear crossmember be replaced?
Yes — it is cut out and a new section fabricated and welded in, then sealed and coated.
Are corroded spring hangers repairable?
In most cases yes, provided the surrounding rail is sound. If the rail itself has gone, that gets rebuilt first.
Which pickups do you work on?
Hilux, Ranger, Navara, L200, D-Max and similar. Send the year and model and we'll confirm.
Will the truck pass the NCT / CVRT after repair?
A repair carried out in correct-gauge steel with full-penetration welds and proper sealing is done to the standard testers look for on corrosion.
