About Welding and Fabrication

Common questions and tips from our work with Forrest City customers.

Can a cracked trailer frame be welded?

Often it can. The repair usually involves cleaning the area down to bare metal, grinding out the crack so the weld goes all the way through, welding it, and adding a reinforcing plate where the frame needs extra strength. Whether a weld is the right fix depends on where the crack is and how much of the frame is affected. Describe the damage when you call.

Is it better to weld a broken part or replace it?

It depends on the part and the damage. Brackets, mounts, frame sections and many trailer parts can be welded and reinforced well. Some parts that carry heavy load or wear quickly are better replaced. When a replacement part is hard to find, fabricating a new piece from steel can be a practical option. We will tell you plainly which way makes sense.

Tip

Catch small cracks before they spread

Cracks in trailer frames and mounts tend to start small near welds, bolt holes and corners where stress builds. When you wash or inspect the trailer, look for rust lines, flaking paint or thin dark lines in those spots. A small crack is a simpler repair than a broken crossmember or a separated mount, so have it looked at early.
