Overview

Inside a structural repair

A hard hit or years of heavy hauling can throw a truck frame or trailer structure out of true. We measure the chassis against factory dimensions, anchor it and straighten it back to manufacturer specification, and cut out and replace any steel that cannot be trued — so the unit tracks straight, carries load safely and stays road-ready.

01

Damage measurement & assessment

Every structural job starts on the measuring system. We map the chassis and frame against the manufacturer’s factory dimensions to find not just the obvious damage but the hidden misalignment an impact or overload pushes through the structure. The result is a clear, measured picture of exactly what has moved and by how much.

  • Computerised / laser measuring
  • Compared to factory dimensions
  • Hidden-misalignment assessment

Frame & chassis straightening

The truck or trailer is anchored to a heavy-duty straightening bench and brought back to shape with controlled, multi-point hydraulic pulls. Force is applied to the predetermined structural points in the manufacturer’s repair guidelines, so chassis rails and cross-members return to their original geometry rather than a rough approximation.

  • Anchored on a heavy-duty bench
  • Multi-point hydraulic pulls
  • Straightened to manufacturer spec

Structural steel repair & replacement

Where steel is torn, crushed or corroded beyond truing, it is cut out and renewed. We fabricate replacement rails, cross-members, mounts and supports and weld them in following OEM structural procedures, restoring full strength to frames, underframes and load-bearing areas instead of patching over the damage.

  • Damaged & corroded steel cut out
  • Fabricated replacement sections
  • Welded to OEM procedure

Alignment & verification

Once straightened and rebuilt, the structure is re-measured against spec and the key reference points — chassis rails, cross-members and suspension and fifth-wheel mounts — are confirmed to manufacturer tolerances. Nothing leaves until the numbers match, so the unit is verified sound before it heads for refinishing and return.

  • Re-measured against spec
  • Mounting points verified
  • Signed off before return
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes. The unit is anchored to a straightening bench and brought back with controlled hydraulic pulls at the manufacturer’s structural points, then re-measured against factory dimensions until it is within tolerance.

  • We measure the chassis and frame against the manufacturer’s factory dimensions before and after the repair, and confirm chassis rails, cross-members and suspension and fifth-wheel mounting points match spec before the unit is released.

  • Yes. Structural repairs are handled insurer-direct — we prepare the Mitchell estimate, submit it and coordinate approvals and supplements through to completion.

  • Yes. We straighten and rebuild trailer frames and underframes, fabricating and welding in replacement cross-members and supports to OEM structural procedures.

  • Our 32,000 sq-ft shop has drive-in bays and a heavy-duty bench sized for trucks, trailers and longer units. If you are unsure whether your vehicle fits, send us the dimensions and we will confirm.
