Trailers work hard under heavy loads, long distances and harsh conditions. Poor design or tired structures lead to cracks, uneven wear, compliance failures and costly downtime. Wales Heavy Vehicle Repairs delivers trailer fabrication that’s engineered for duty cycle, payload and route, using quality materials, approved methods and documented QA so your assets perform safely and reliably.
New builds, fit-outs; drawgear, guards, toolboxes fabricated, installed.
Luggage and service trailers built with compliant lighting.
Curtainsiders, flats, skels, tippers, tankers built or modified.
Plant, tag, low-loader trailers upgraded with rated tie-downs.
Standardised specs, branding, documentation; consistent multi-site builds nationwide.
We combine specialist fabricators, controlled processes and modern equipment to deliver accurate, durable builds while reducing cycle time.
We capture duty cycle, payload, route restrictions and dimensional needs. Measurements and photos of donor assets or coupling vehicles inform the design.
You receive an itemised estimate with outline drawings and scope. Where required, we liaise with engineers and insurers to streamline approvals and timelines.
High-grade steels and components are verified. Jigs are set for rails, cross-members and drawbars. Weld maps and cut lists are prepared for repeatable accuracy.
Frames, posts and floors are fabricated to specification. We install drawgear, landing legs, toolboxes, load restraint points and hydraulics or pneumatics as required.
Blast, prime and refinish in down-draft bake booths or apply protective coatings to resist corrosion, abrasion and chemicals.
Full wiring, EBS/ABS plumbing, lighting, conspicuity and plate holders are fitted. Weight distribution and clearances are verified against applicable requirements.
Fasteners are torqued, welds inspected and systems tested. You receive drawings, parts lists and maintenance guidance. We schedule collection or delivery.
Purpose-built fixtures for straight, square frames and repeatable components.
Approved welding and bonding techniques for structural integrity and durability.
Plasma cutting and press work for floors, brackets and wear plates with clean edges and fit.
Tipping gear, valves, hoses and tanks installed and tested for safe operation.
Brake electronics and full lighting looms installed and verified for reliable service.
Long-life finishes baked for hardness, gloss and chemical resistance.
All in-house at major sites to reduce cycle time and maintain quality control.
Fabrication follows approved methods and fit-for-purpose material selection. Technicians are trained to current standards and sites are authorised by leading insurers. We document measurements, torque values and test results. If additional work improves safety or compliance, we provide clear, data-driven recommendations.
Priority booking, SLA-based turnaround and consolidated invoicing support uptime and capital planning. National consistency across company-owned sites means the same jigs, methods and documentation in Perth, Adelaide, Darwin, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and Townsville. Milestone updates are provided from approval to QA.
Straight answers on truck smash repairs, alignment, paint matching, turnaround times, and insurer approvals.
Yes. We can adopt your spec or help develop one, then repeat builds for consistency across your fleet.
Where required, we coordinate with qualified engineers and provide measurements, drawings and test data.
We select fit-for-purpose steels, composites and components based on duty, payload and environment.
Yes. We install and verify brake electronics and lighting, including reflective conspicuity.
Lead time depends on scope and parts. We provide a planned schedule and progress updates at each milestone.
We service major Australian freight corridors through a company-owned network. From design brief and fabrication to coatings, wiring and final QA, our teams deliver end-to-end trailer fabrication so equipment enters service quickly and safely. For urgent advice, call 1300 4 WALES.
