Structural welds where the break happened.
Mobile welding for trailer frames, lift gates, brackets, cracked rails, and heavy-equipment repairs. Portable rigs, certified welders, and the right rod for every job.
A cracked frame or broken bracket does not need a shop. It needs a welder with a truck and the right rod.
Structural failures on commercial trailers, lift gates, dump beds, hitches, and heavy equipment happen in places where towing is expensive and a shop visit is a week away. Mobile welding turns a multi-day downtime into a one-afternoon repair. Our network includes certified welders with portable rigs capable of stick, MIG, and flux-core work for the common repair types.
Road Rescue Network routes welding requests to qualified operators based on the repair type and steel grade required. Not every welder does structural. Not every welder carries the right rod for high-tensile trailer steel. We verify the specialty before dispatching so the repair is done correctly the first time.
For fleet and equipment operators, mobile welding logs against the asset and includes photo documentation of the repair. Insurance claims, warranty work, and future maintenance tracking all benefit from a documented weld record.
What mobile welders handle.
Trailer frame and rail cracks
Stress cracks, impact damage, and fatigue failures on trailer main rails. Certified welders and appropriate rod grades for DOT-compliant structural repair.
Lift gate failures
Hinge mounts, platform cracks, actuator brackets, and hydraulic ram attachment points. Common repair on fleet trailers.
Hitch and pintle damage
Bent, cracked, or sheared hitch components, pintle hooks, and gooseneck attachments. Mobile welders can often repair in place without dropping the hitch.
Dump bed and body repairs
Cracked dump bed floors, tailgate hinges, bed rails, and bracket mount points on construction and municipal equipment.
Heavy equipment structural
Bucket cracks, arm weld failures, tracking component repairs, and attachment bracket work on excavators, loaders, and dozers.
Exhaust and frame-mounted hardware
Cracked exhaust brackets, muffler mounts, and tank strap repairs that strand the truck or equipment in place.
From crack to cleared.
Describe the failure
Tell us the equipment, what cracked, how severe, and your location. Photos help the welder prep rod and technique before they arrive.
Specialty match
Your request routes to a welder equipped and certified for the steel grade and repair type. Structural work requires specific rod; we match accordingly.
ETA and quote
The welder confirms arrival window and hourly rate. A quote for the repair follows inspection. Most welds are priced per hour with a minimum call.
On-site weld
Portable rig, grinding prep, structural weld, and grind-back finish. Fire safety is standard on every call (ground mats, extinguishers, shield areas).
Documented and settled
Photos before and after, rod used, weld length, and labor hours logged to the asset record. Payment processes through the platform.
Portable welding kit for the road.
- Portable stick, MIG, and flux-core welders
- Rod stock for mild steel, high-tensile, and cast iron where applicable
- Grinding, cutting, and prep tools
- Fire safety gear and environmental protection
- DC and AC power for diverse repair scenarios
- Certified welders for structural and DOT-compliant work
Answers before you call.
Most mobile welders in the network handle stick (SMAW), MIG (GMAW), and flux-core (FCAW). Some also handle TIG for specialty work. Ask at intake if your repair requires a specific process.
Often yes, though truck stops vary on their willingness to host hot work on their lot. The welder will assess safety and check with site management. Welding at a drop yard, terminal, or shipping dock is more common and has fewer site constraints.
Yes, for most structural repairs. Certified welders use DOT-appropriate rod grades and document the repair. If a repair is beyond what can safely be done roadside (extensive rail damage, complex multi-pass structural work), the welder will recommend a shop.
Simple bracket or short crack repairs run 30 to 60 minutes from welder arrival. Trailer rail or frame work typically 1 to 3 hours. Heavy-equipment structural repairs can run half a day depending on prep and number of passes.
In most cases no. Some municipalities require hot-work permits for commercial property work; the welder can advise if that applies at your location. At private fleet terminals, your site safety plan typically covers it.
Some operators are equipped for aluminum work (commonly MIG with a spool gun or TIG). Aluminum is less common in mobile welding than mild and high-tensile steel, so specify aluminum at intake so the right operator dispatches.
