Log Trailer Bunk Upright Repair in Innsbrook Missouri

A cracked and badly bent bunk upright on a working log trailer is not something you can ignore. That upright is what keeps a full load of logs contained and secure while the trailer is moving down the road. When it fails, the trailer is out of service - and every hour it sits is money lost.

We got called out to handle this one on-site. The damaged upright was beyond straightening, so we cut out the bad section and fitted a new heavy-steel upright in its place. That's not just a swap - it has to be fitted right, welded solid, and reinforced so it holds up under the same conditions that bent the original.

That last part is where the gussets come in. We fabricated and welded reinforcement gussets right at the base of the upright, where the stress concentrates every time a load shifts or the trailer flexes over rough ground. That area takes a beating, and the repair needed to be built tougher than what was there before.

Once the welds cooled and everything checked out, the trailer was ready to go back to work. No shop trip, no waiting on a truck to haul it somewhere. We brought the equipment to the job, handled the repair on location, and got the customer back hauling logs the same day.

We run mobile welding and fabrication calls throughout Troy, Missouri and the surrounding area - including Innsbrook and the wider Lincoln County region. Log trailers, equipment repairs, structural steel - if it's broken and costing you time, we can come to you. We're also available for 24/7 emergency welding calls when something can't wait.
