Side Dump Trailer Landing Gear Repair in Dilworth

A repeat customer out of Dilworth called us up with a problem that couldn't wait - the landing gear on their side dump had taken some damage and was bent out of shape. For a working trailer, that's not a minor issue. Landing gear holds the front of the trailer when it's unhitched, and a bent crossmember or damaged mount is a safety problem and a downtime problem all rolled into one.

We headed straight to their yard. No hauling the trailer to a shop, no waiting in line. We came to the equipment. That's the whole point of mobile welding - the trailer doesn't have to go anywhere, and your operation doesn't have to stop any longer than it has to.

Here's what the job actually involved: we cut out the damaged components, fabricated new landing gear mounts from scratch, replaced the bent crossmember, and repaired the damaged fender mounting bracket. Everything got welded back into place right there on-site. The fabricated crossmember mount you can see bolted cleanly to the frame is not an off-the-shelf part - we built it to fit.

This is the kind of work that looks straightforward in the after photos, but there's real effort behind it. Cutting out damaged structural components on a loaded trailer frame, fitting new fabricated pieces correctly, and getting clean welds in tight spaces takes experience. A bad repair here doesn't just fail - it can fail at the worst possible time.

We always appreciate the repeat business, and this one is a good example of why customers keep coming back. Fast response, on-site repair, and the trailer was back to work without a long shop wait. If you're running side dumps or heavy trailers in the Fargo-Moorhead area and something gets bent out of shape, that's exactly what we're here for.
