Semi-Trailer Frame Crack Repair in Gadsden, AL

The cracked steel frame

This semi-trailer job was completed in Gadsden. The before photographs show an open crack across the steel frame section, including close views of the joint and the underside of the damaged member.

Gouging, welding and plate reinforcement

K&G Welding gouged out the crack and welded the repair. Steel plates were then welded over the repaired area to reinforce the frame section. The completed photographs show the plate reinforcement, inside connection details and underside welds.

The repair sequence matters: the crack was addressed before the reinforcement plates were added. The photographs document this particular welding job; the appropriate repair for another trailer depends on its damage and surrounding steel.
