Custom Parts Built to Exact Specifications

Trailer fabrication for automobile hauling, serving Petrolia, Texas and the surrounding region.

When a standard replacement part does not fit your trailer or you need a component built to handle specific weight or dimensions in Petrolia, fabrication becomes the only practical option. JB Manufacturing & Repair fabricates custom parts and full trailer components for automobile trailers, including frame sections, crossmembers, hitch assemblies, and structural reinforcements.

The team works with steel tubing and plate steel, cutting and welding each piece to match your trailer's existing layout or to meet new requirements. Whether you need a single bracket or a complete frame overhaul, the fabrication process is guided by measurements taken directly from your trailer. This approach ensures that new components fit without forcing connections or creating weak points.

If you need a part fabricated or want to discuss a structural project, schedule a fabrication consultation.

How Fabricated Components Are Built and Installed

Fabrication begins with measuring the trailer and identifying where the new part will attach in Petrolia. The team cuts steel tubing or plate to size, then welds joints to create the finished component. Each weld is cleaned and inspected before installation to ensure strength and alignment.

After installation, the new part integrates with the existing frame. Bolt holes line up, surfaces sit flush, and the load distributes evenly across the structure. You will not see gaps, misalignment, or signs that the component was added after the original build.

JB Manufacturing & Repair specializes in heavy-duty trailers and complex builds where standard parts are unavailable or inadequate. This includes fabricating sections for trailers that have been lengthened, reinforced, or repurposed for different vehicle types. The work is done to handle real-world loads, not just to meet minimum specifications.

People ordering custom fabrication often ask about material strength, how the new part will attach, and whether fabrication costs more than buying a replacement. These answers cover the practical details you need before starting a project.

Common Concerns About Fabrication Work

What materials are used for fabricated parts?
JB Manufacturing & Repair uses steel tubing and plate steel, selected for their weldability and load-bearing capacity. The material thickness is chosen based on the stress the part will handle.
How do fabricated parts attach to the existing trailer?
Parts are welded or bolted depending on the application. Welded connections provide a permanent fix, while bolted assemblies allow for future adjustments or removal if needed.
What if the trailer frame is damaged in the area where the part will attach?
The damaged section is repaired or replaced before the new part is installed. This ensures that the attachment point is strong enough to hold the fabricated component under load.
Why choose fabrication instead of ordering a part?
Fabrication lets you specify dimensions, mounting points, and load capacity that off-the-shelf parts may not offer. It is often the only option for older trailers or custom builds where standard parts are unavailable.
How long does a fabrication project take?
Simple parts such as brackets or crossmembers can be completed in a few hours. Larger projects like frame sections or hitch assemblies may take several days depending on the complexity.
