Practical trailer repair
Trailer problems often cross between mechanical parts, electrical systems, and fabricated structure. Schmelzle MechFab can evaluate the complete repair need and handle work that benefits from welding and fabrication capability in the same shop.
Modifications built around the job
Some trailers need more than restoration to their original configuration. The shop can evaluate modifications that change loading, access, mounting, or operation around how the trailer is actually used.
Running gear, lighting, and wiring
Service categories include suspension repair, wheel bearings, races and seals, lighting, wiring, and damaged mounting or support structure. The right approach depends on component condition and the trailer application.
Hitch installation and related fabrication
Hitch installation and associated repair or fabrication work are available for appropriate applications. Contact the shop with vehicle, trailer, and hitch details so the job can be evaluated.
Custom trailer modifications
Hydraulic-ramp retrofit
Schmelzle MechFab retrofitted a trailer with hydraulic ramps, changing the trailer around how the customer needed to load and use it.
This kind of project brings mechanical components, controls, mounting, and fabricated structure together as one modification rather than treating each piece in isolation.
