We have been a certified DOT inspector since 2008 and inspect an average of 150 commercial vehicles every year. You can bring your trucks and trailers to us, or we can come to you. Spring is our busiest season, so if you can schedule your inspection it will ensure your spot.
We also offer an On-Site Maintenance and Repair Service at an additional cost based on the distance from our shop. Many of our commercial clients will line up the trailers and we will check and repair, on average 4-5 trailers, in one day. We have a tire changer, standard parts, pressure washer and a welder on board. A crew of two mechanics are sent to each job site.
Are you interested in the on-site option but do not have enough trailers to justify the time or cost? Call us anyway. We keep a list of individuals who do not have urgent trailer needs but who are interested in the on-site option. Once we get enough trailers in an area, we will travel between the sites and maintain or repair them in one day. We are usually in each suburb and rural areas surrounding St. Paul/Minneapolis a couple of times a year.
We service all types of trailers including Big Tex, Diamond C, PJ, Kaufman, and more!
Are your trailers used so much that they are rarely idle long enough to do a safety check? Are you constantly having issues with lights or does the thought of another DOT inspection keep you up at night? We have a solution for you. If your customers allow it, we can go to your job site and perform the maintenance while your crews are working. There is no downtime for your equipment or your employees. We are here to help you run your business as efficiently as possible with safe equipment that does not get tagged for safety issues. Speaking of efficiencies, we can also customize your work trailers to better meet your needs. We can build custom shelving, storage, and re-positioned tie-downs. We have moved propane storage tanks and lines to a safer travel location on a fleet of trailers and installed battery charging stations for devices so your employees can invoice at the job site…or just plug in their phone so they answer when you call them! It’s time to think outside the box and make your equipment truly work for you. We can help you do that.
After tire wear, the number one issue we see on commercial trailers are lights and wiring. Sometimes it is an easy fix and other times we are amazed that mice can burrow that far into a structure. If your trailers are constantly on the go, it’s usually a loose wire or a burnt-out bulb. Whatever is causing the issue, we will get to the bottom of it and get you up and running again.
Sometimes the trailer you purchased no longer meets your needs. Maybe you find that you are putting the maximum weight on your trailers and all you really need are new axles to support the new weights. We replace axles all the time and can restructure your existing trailer, so it works for you years to come saving you the cost of a new trailer. In addition to axles, we have added height to trailers, insulated trailers, added heat and storage. Whatever your needs are, let’s talk and see if we can redesign your trailer keeping it structurally safe while giving you a trailer that really works for you.
