Custom Trailer Builds & Fabrication
Trailers built and modified around what they actually have to carry and how they get used. Contact us to discuss your trailer project and requirements.
Overview
Purpose-built trailer projects
A trailer that fits your equipment, your loading habits, and your work routine is a different animal from whatever happens to be on the lot.
Custom trailer work starts with the load and the routine: what goes on the deck, how it gets on and off, how often, and what has been frustrating about the current setup. Those answers shape the deck layout, the framing, and the features worth adding.
Every trailer inquiry is reviewed on its own terms. Not every request will be a fit for the shop, and we’ll tell you that straight rather than string you along.

Modifications, add-ons, and custom trailer work
Not every trailer project starts from scratch. A lot of the work that comes through the shop is modifying or upgrading a trailer so it does the job better.
Trailer builds and mods include gates, ramps, added side rails, coupler modifications, custom mud truck trailers, repairs, and any other custom fabrication needed to make a trailer work the way you want it to.
Bring the trailer — or detailed photos — and describe what it’s hauling, how it’s loaded, and what’s not working about the current setup. That context shapes the modification.

Planning
Project planning considerations
Trailer work involves structure, loading, and safety, so the planning stage matters more than on most projects.
Before any build or modification is agreed on, the requirements are reviewed against what the trailer will be asked to do. Load-related questions, ratings, and compliance are handled per project with the customer rather than assumed from a web page.
If a request isn’t something the shop should take on, we’ll say so.

Trailer repair and changes of use
Utility trailers, boat trailers and work trailers each have different loading and clearance needs. Discuss frame welding, repairs, custom brackets and modifications with JG's in Bunkie before changing how a trailer is used.
When you call, have photographs, approximate measurements, the material if known, your location, the desired result and your preferred timeframe ready.
