Chassis Solidification and Frame Reinforcement for Trailers and RVs — Laval, Montreal and the North Shore
Chassis solidification and floor reinforcement are among our specialties. Over time, rust, heavy loads and Quebec's potholes fatigue a trailer's structure. At our shop at 1870 rue Cunard in Laval, we reinforce and rebuild every type of equipment: light trailers you want to make tougher, medium-duty trailers — goosenecks and fifth wheels with axles up to 18,000 lb per axle — and RV frames. Welded steel reinforcement, doubling of rails, floor replacement, flex correction: we step in before the problem becomes dangerous. Rated 4.9/5 across 114 reviews. Call 450-232-7828.
Frame reinforcement and solidification
Frame reinforcement gives your trailer a structure able to handle loads and Quebec roads. We target stress points and add material where it counts.
- Adding cross members, gussets and welded steel reinforcements at fatigue points
- Doubling rails and members weakened by rust or overload
- Correcting frame flex, twist and sag
- Reinforcing the tongue and hitch area
- Rust treatment and protection of repaired sections
A solidified trailer hauls heavier loads safely, lasts longer and holds its resale value better.
Floor reinforcement and replacement
The floor takes everything: carts, pallets, machinery, moisture and salt. We rebuild and reinforce it to match your real use.
- Replacing treated plywood or steel decking attacked by salt
- Adding sub-floor support and extra cross members
- Non-slip coating and water protection
- Reinforcing load points (ramps, tie-down rails, winches)
We tailor each floor reinforcement to what you haul, for a result that lasts for years.
Structural welding on steel and aluminum
Welding is at the heart of any serious structural repair. Our shop produces clean, strong welds on steel and aluminum, essential for a rebuild you can trust.
- Repairing cracks and breaks on the frame, tongue and cross members
- Fabricating and installing custom reinforcements, brackets and mounts
- Repairing sides, doors, ramps and deck structures
- Welding tie-down points, D-rings and supports
Every weld is done by experienced hands and inspected before the unit is returned.
Reinforcement of medium-duty trailers — gooseneck and fifth wheel
Medium-duty trailers — gooseneck and fifth wheel, fitted with axles up to 18,000 lb per axle — take enormous stress at the neck and hitch. That's often where fatigue appears.
- Reinforcing the gooseneck neck and the fifth-wheel structure
- Doubling and reinforcing the main rails and axle support
- Re-welding cracked factory welds at load points
- Reinforcing suspension mounts, U-bolts and equalizers
- Upgrading structural capacity in line with the axles
A well-designed reinforcement of your gooseneck or fifth wheel protects your load and extends the trailer's service life, while respecting its real capacity.
RV frame restoration
An RV frame suffers in silence: water intrusion, corrosion under the floor, a tongue weakened by years of storage. A structural restoration extends the life of your RV by several seasons.
- Reinforcing and repairing the RV frame and rails
- Repairing the tongue, tongue support and hitch area
- Rebuilding the floor and sub-floor damaged by water
- Treating corrosion and protecting repaired sections
Before investing in a new RV, have yours assessed: a sound structure can be repaired and reinforced for a fraction of the replacement cost.

Frequently asked questions
Can an old trailer that sags under load be reinforced?
Yes, it's one of our specialties. We add welded steel reinforcements, double the rails, correct frame flex and treat rust. The result is often stronger than original, while respecting the real capacity of the axles and hitch.
Do you reinforce gooseneck and fifth-wheel trailers?
Absolutely. On medium-duty gooseneck and fifth-wheel trailers (axles up to 18,000 lb per axle), we reinforce the neck, the fifth-wheel structure, the rails and axle supports, and we re-weld cracked factory welds at load points.
Do you weld aluminum?
Yes. Our shop welds steel and aluminum. We repair frame and tongue cracks, fabricate custom reinforcements and weld tie-down points. Every weld is inspected before the unit is returned.
Can an RV frame be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. A corroded RV frame or a weakened tongue can be repaired and reinforced for a fraction of the price of a new RV. We assess the structure, floor and sub-floor, then give you an honest diagnosis.
Does reinforcement increase load capacity?
Structural reinforcement increases strength and durability, but the maximum load capacity remains determined by the axles, tires and hitch. We advise you on what is safe and compliant, and we can combine reinforcement with an axle upgrade if needed.
