Built From the Frame Up for Your Use

Custom trailer manufacturing for automobile hauling, serving Petrolia, Texas and the surrounding region.

When you need a trailer built to handle specific dimensions, weight loads, or hauling conditions in Petrolia, ordering a stock model often means compromising on axle placement, deck length, or tie-down positioning. JB Manufacturing & Repair builds custom automobile trailers from the ground up, designed around the vehicles you transport and the roads you travel across north central Texas.

The process starts with a conversation about how you plan to use the trailer. Whether you are hauling classic cars, work trucks, or equipment, the team fabricates a frame that matches your load requirements. Each trailer is welded, fitted, and finished to meet both recreational and commercial demands, with options for single or tandem axles, open or enclosed designs, and deck materials suited to your hauling frequency.

How the Build Process Moves Forward

Once the design is finalized, the frame is fabricated in Petrolia using steel tubing cut and welded to precise measurements. You will see the axle mounts positioned based on the weight distribution of the vehicles you haul. Crossmembers are spaced to support the deck without flexing under load, and the hitch is rated to match your towing vehicle.

After the frame is assembled, the deck is installed, lighting is wired, and any additional features such as ramps, fenders, or toolboxes are added. The completed trailer is inspected for alignment, weld integrity, and road readiness before delivery.

JB Manufacturing & Repair works only on automobile trailers, so every build reflects experience with vehicle transport rather than general fabrication. The team understands where stress points occur, how to position tie-down loops, and which materials hold up best under repeated use. This focus keeps the build process efficient and the finished trailer reliable.

People ordering a custom trailer often ask about timelines, material choices, and what happens if their needs change partway through the build. These answers address the most common concerns before you commit to a project.

Most Buyers Have Similar Questions Early On

How long does it take to build a custom trailer?
Most builds are completed within two to four weeks, depending on the design complexity and current project schedule. JB Manufacturing & Repair provides an estimated timeline once the specifications are finalized.
What material is used for the trailer frame?
The frame is built with steel tubing, which offers strength and weldability for custom configurations. Crossmembers and supports are sized based on the expected load.
What if I need to adjust the design after the build starts?
Minor changes can usually be made during fabrication, but significant alterations may affect the timeline and cost. You should finalize dimensions and features before the frame is welded.
Why choose a custom trailer instead of buying one ready-made?
A custom build lets you specify axle placement, deck length, and tie-down positions to match the vehicles you haul. This eliminates the need to adapt your loading process to fit a generic trailer.
What happens after the trailer is finished?
You are contacted for pickup in Petrolia. The trailer is inspected with you before it leaves the shop, and any final adjustments are made to the hitch, lights, or ramps.
