Curtain repairs & welding

Trailer curtain repairs and on-site welding — the practical jobs that quietly take a vehicle off the road if nobody deals with them. A torn curtain or a cracked bracket is not what most operators think of as a breakdown, right up until it is the reason a load cannot go.

Curtains

Tears, failed straps and buckles, damaged tensioners, worn runners and rollers, and the damage that comes from a curtain being loaded against or caught. Repaired where it is practical to repair, replaced where a repair would not hold.

A curtain in poor condition is a load security problem before it is a cosmetic one, and it is exactly the sort of thing that gets noticed at the roadside.

Welding and fabrication

On-site welding for chassis and body work: brackets, mountings, steps, guards, rails, floors and the fittings that take a beating in normal use. Repairs made properly rather than patched to last until somebody else has to deal with it.

Body and structural damage

Damage after a strike or an incident, on the trailer or the vehicle. We will look at it, tell you whether it affects roadworthiness, and put it right — or tell you plainly if it is beyond an economic repair.

Why this sits alongside the mechanical work

Curtain and body damage tends to get postponed, because the vehicle still drives. Then it fails an inspection, or a load cannot be secured, or the damage spreads into something structural. Dealing with it as part of a scheduled visit is a fraction of the cost and none of the disruption.

On site or in the workshop

Much of this work is done where the trailer is. Bring it to Melbourne if that suits you better, or we will come out — including as part of a planned maintenance visit to your yard.

Pulled in by a wrecker with a knackered clutch on my daf about 1130. The lads were on the job as soon as the part came in and had in finished and back on the road by 1715. Cracking job only wish you could give more than 5* Thanks Nick, Kaleb and Ben for getting me sorted and back on the road the same day 👍🏼

Frequently asked questions

It depends on where the tear is and how the curtain has been treated. Plenty are repairable and the repair holds. Where it would not — a tear through a stress point, or a curtain that has reached the end of its life — we will tell you that rather than take payment for a repair that fails in a month.
