Even minor impacts can bend rails, twist frames or shift datum points. The result can be poor tracking, uneven tyre wear, increased fuel use and unpredictable braking or steering. Wales Heavy Vehicle Repairs restores chassis geometry to specification using laser or optical measurement, controlled pulls on heavy benches and documented QA. Your vehicle returns to service stable, compliant and ready for work.
Prime movers and rigids realigned.
Passenger and charter geometry corrected.
Axles, rails and drawbars straightened.
Earthmoving frames and mounts corrected.
Consistent insurer-ready fleet repairs nationwide.
We combine specialist people, proven processes and modern equipment to deliver accurate geometry and durable outcomes while reducing cycle time.
Structured inspection with high-resolution imagery and baseline measurements. We check rail straightness, diamond, sag and side-sway, record axle centres and mount positions, and identify hidden deformation that affects handling and tyre life.
You receive an itemised estimate with measurement data and images. We liaise directly with major insurers to streamline authorisations, confirm parts requirements and set realistic delivery dates.
The chassis is anchored at manufacturer-approved points. Controlled pulls restore rails and cross-members to datum. Laser or optical systems monitor progress in real time so twist, diamond and sag are removed to tolerance.
Cab, suspension, spring and component mounts are repaired or replaced where necessary. We re-measure after each stage to maintain geometry and ensure correct load paths and ride characteristics.
We re-check all critical dimensions and confirm thrust angle. Where required, we coordinate a wheel alignment to lock in results. Measurements are recorded for your records and insurer requirements.
Where available on site, steering, braking and electrical systems are verified after structural work. Fault codes are scanned and road-testing is performed as appropriate. Safety-critical findings are rectified or quoted for approval.
A second-person QA confirms torque settings and measurements. You receive before and after data, photos and notes on any replaced components. We schedule collection or delivery so the vehicle returns to work quickly.
Accurate assessment and live monitoring of straightness, twist, diamond and sag for repeatable outcomes.
Purpose-built platforms and fixtures to apply controlled corrective force at approved points.
Fabrication and replacement of brackets and cross-members where permitted, with fit checked against OEM tolerances.
Safe handling of cabs, bodies and components to protect parts and improve throughput.
Modern scan tools to confirm sensor integrity, ABS or EBS function and related systems post-repair.
Access to large down-draft bake booths for protective coatings or cosmetic rectification where required.
All in-house at major sites to reduce cycle time and maintain quality control.
Repairs follow OEM methods using genuine or certified parts. Technicians are trained to current standards and sites are authorised by leading insurers. Structural work is measured, verified and documented. We never compromise safety. If we find additional issues, you receive clear, data-driven recommendations to keep assets compliant and operators protected.
Priority booking, SLA-based turnaround and consolidated invoicing support uptime and cash flow. National consistency across company-owned sites means the same methods, measurements and documentation in Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and Townsville. We align to your compliance requirements and provide milestone updates from approval through QA.
Straight answers on truck smash repairs, alignment, paint matching, turnaround times, and insurer approvals.
Vehicle pulls, crooked steering wheel, uneven tyre wear, poor tracking, increased fuel use, visible rail or mount distortion and inconsistent ride height.
We restore geometry within manufacturer tolerances using laser or optical systems and heavy benches. Before and after measurements are provided.
Yes in most cases. Once the chassis is corrected, a wheel alignment locks in the final settings and protects tyres and components.
We follow OEM methods. Some damage is repairable, others require replacement or engineered solutions. We will advise with data and images.
Core services are available nationwide. Some sites have enhanced equipment. We schedule at the best-equipped Wales site to meet your timeframe.
