We specialise in converting semi-trailers to 44-tonne tipping skeletal trailers, Lloyds-coded welding fabrication, and MOT testing for class 4, 5, and 7 vehicles. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our SA2.5-rated blast room, 4-bay industrial paint shop, and 3-bay fabrication shed equipped with overhead cranes and heavy-duty machinery.We provide nationwide services, combining decades of experience with a dedicated team to meet diverse client needs.
