Roadside trailer breakdown welding near Thunder Bay
Highways 11/17 and 61 carry a lot of travellers towing campers, boats and motorcycle trailers, and Thunder Bay is a long way from the next big city. A broken tongue, spring hanger or coupler mount can strand you. A mobile welder can often make a roadside repair that gets you home or to a shop.
Common roadside failures
- Cracked or broken trailer tongue or A-frame
- Spring hanger torn from the frame
- Broken coupler, safety chain or jack mount
- Fender, light bracket or ramp hinge failures
- Hitch receiver and bumper mount damage
While you wait
- Get the vehicle and trailer safely off the road and turn on your hazards.
- Send your exact location (highway, nearest kilometre marker or intersection, and direction of travel) and photos.
- Don't keep towing on a cracked tongue or hanger.
