Trailer Fabrication

Custom-built, engineered trailer solutions for durability, compliance and uptime.
Why This Service Matters

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.

What We Repair

Trucks & Semi-Trailers

New builds, fit-outs; drawgear, guards, toolboxes fabricated, installed.

Buses & Coaches

Luggage and service trailers built with compliant lighting.

Trailers

Curtainsiders, flats, skels, tippers, tankers built or modified.

Heavy Equipment

Plant, tag, low-loader trailers upgraded with rated tie-downs.

Commercial Fleets

Standardised specs, branding, documentation; consistent multi-site builds nationwide.

How We Work

We combine specialist fabricators, controlled processes and modern equipment to deliver accurate, durable builds while reducing cycle time.

1
Assessment and Design Brief

We capture duty cycle, payload, route restrictions and dimensional needs. Measurements and photos of donor assets or coupling vehicles inform the design.

2
Clear Quotation and Engineering Liaison

You receive an itemised estimate with outline drawings and scope. Where required, we liaise with engineers and insurers to streamline approvals and timelines.

3
Materials Procurement and Jig Setup

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.

4
Fabrication and Fit-out

Frames, posts and floors are fabricated to specification. We install drawgear, landing legs, toolboxes, load restraint points and hydraulics or pneumatics as required.

5
Surface Prep and Protective Coatings

Blast, prime and refinish in down-draft bake booths or apply protective coatings to resist corrosion, abrasion and chemicals.

6
Electrical, Brakes and Compliance Items

Full wiring, EBS/ABS plumbing, lighting, conspicuity and plate holders are fitted. Weight distribution and clearances are verified against applicable requirements.

7
QA, Documentation and Handover

Fasteners are torqued, welds inspected and systems tested. You receive drawings, parts lists and maintenance guidance. We schedule collection or delivery.

Capabilities and Equipment
Heavy Fabrication Bays and Jigs

Purpose-built fixtures for straight, square frames and repeatable components.

Certified Welding Processes

Approved welding and bonding techniques for structural integrity and durability.

Plate Cutting and Forming

Plasma cutting and press work for floors, brackets and wear plates with clean edges and fit.

Hydraulic and Pneumatic Fit-out

Tipping gear, valves, hoses and tanks installed and tested for safe operation.

EBS/ABS and Lighting Integration

Brake electronics and full lighting looms installed and verified for reliable service.

Large Down-Draft Bake Booths

Long-life finishes baked for hardness, gloss and chemical resistance.

All in-house at major sites to reduce cycle time and maintain quality control.

Quality, Safety and Compliance

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
