Trailer Chassis Repairs Ireland
Trailers live outdoors, carry weight and rarely get looked at underneath. We weld the structure back to strength and seal it.
In short
- Trailer repairs cover main rails, drawbars, axle and suspension mounts, ramp hinges and floor structure.
- Corroded trailer structure is a towing safety issue, not just a maintenance job.
- Repairs are welded, sealed, painted and coated for outdoor life.

Why trailers corrode faster than vehicles
Trailers sit outside year-round, often loaded with wet material, and nobody drives them regularly enough to notice a problem developing. Mud, silage, sand and slurry all hold moisture against the steel.
The parts that matter most — drawbar, coupling area, axle mounts — are also the ones nobody looks at until something moves.

Finish for outdoor life
A trailer repair that is left as bare steel will be rusting within weeks. Every repair is dressed, sealed, primed, painted and coated, because these things live in the weather.
Every repair, step by step
- Ramp inspection with photos of every corroded area
- Corroded steel cut back to clean, solid metal
- Repair sections fabricated in correct-gauge steel
- MIG welded for full penetration and dressed back
- Seams sealed so water cannot enter the joint
- Primed and painted before coating
- Underbody protection applied over the repair
- Photos of the finished work before collection

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair horsebox and livestock trailers?
Yes — chassis rails, floors, axle mounts and ramp structure are all regular jobs.
Can a corroded drawbar be repaired?
Where the surrounding steel is sound, the corroded section can be cut out and rebuilt. If the whole drawbar is compromised we'll tell you straight.
Do you work on plant and tipping trailers?
Yes, including ram mounts, pivot points and floor structure.
Should the trailer be cleaned before it comes in?
It helps a lot — a jet wash of the underside lets us see what we're dealing with immediately.
