Commercial Trailer Collision Repair in Richmond, VA

Commercial trailer accidents can cause damage ranging from scraped panels and bent corners to severe structural distortion. Our trailer collision shop in Richmond, VA evaluates visible and hidden damage before developing a repair plan based on the condition of the trailer. Repairs can involve body components, doors, floors, frames and other systems affected by the impact. We also perform trailer painting and frame straightening to restore looks and function.

Trailer Frame & Structural Repair

A bent trailer frame or damaged subframe can affect alignment, load support and overall trailer integrity.

Side panels, nose sections, rear panels and other exterior components can be punctured, crushed or torn during an accident.

Our team is also capable of serving damaged trailer doors, floors, roofs and liftgates. You can trust us to restore looks and operation, ensuring your trailer is completely roadworthy.

Trailer Welding & Fabrication Services

Collision repairs often require custom welding and fabrication to restore damaged steel or aluminum panels and components.  These processes may also be needed to fix doors, roofing or liftgates, as well as frames and substructures. The expert technicians can repair brackets, structural sections, framing and other metal components to ensure that repairs are completed correctly. Fabrication may also be required when original components cannot simply be straightened or reused. With our inhouse trailer fabrication services in Richmond, we are able to perform collision repairs much quicker than other facilities that have to outsource these types of jobs.
