Frame Repair & Rust Removal

At 312 Truck, we know how critical it is to maintain the structural integrity of your fleet vehicles. From semi-trucks to delivery vans and construction equipment, damage to the frame or the spread of rust can compromise safety, performance, and even the lifespan of your vehicles. That’s why we specialize in frame repair and rust removal services tailored to the needs of fleet supervisors, technicians, and commercial vehicle operators.

Our experienced team works with precision and efficiency to restore your trucks to their peak condition, minimizing downtime and ensuring your fleet stays road-ready. Whether you’re dealing with rust that threatens to spread or frame damage from years of heavy use, you can trust 312 Truck to deliver reliable, lasting solutions that keep your vehicles running strong.

Why Frame Repair & Rust Removal Is Essential

Frame damage and rust may seem like minor issues at first, but ignoring them can lead to costly repairs and even safety hazards down the line. The frame serves as the backbone of your vehicle, providing the strength and support it needs to carry heavy loads and perform demanding tasks. Over time, wear and tear, accidents, and rust buildup can weaken the frame, putting your vehicle—and your business—at risk.

Rust, in particular, is more than just an eyesore. Left untreated, it can eat away at the metal, compromising the structural integrity of your vehicles and leading to frame failure, suspension issues, and other costly damages. This is especially critical for fleet and commercial vehicles, which are subjected to harsh weather, road salt, and heavy-duty use.

By addressing these problems early with professional frame repair and rust removal, you can:

  • Prevent Future Damage: Rust removal stops corrosion from spreading to other parts of your vehicle.
  • Enhance Safety: A properly repaired frame ensures your vehicles are structurally sound and safe to operate.
  • Extend Vehicle Lifespan: Repairing and reinforcing the frame keeps your trucks on the road longer.
  • Save Money: Timely repairs prevent larger, more expensive problems from developing.

Our Frame Repair & Rust Removal Process

When you bring your vehicles to 312 Truck, you’re trusting a team with decades of experience in commercial truck repair. We begin every job with a detailed inspection to assess the extent of the damage and identify areas affected by rust or wear. From there, we take a thorough and systematic approach to restore your vehicle.

For rust removal, we rely on high-pressure sandblasting equipment to remove rust, old paint, and debris, exposing the clean metal beneath. This process not only eliminates existing corrosion but also prepares the surface for repairs and protective treatments. If the frame itself has been compromised, we perform repairs such as welding, straightening, or complete frame replacement, depending on the severity of the damage. Finally, we apply durable coatings and paints to protect the metal from future exposure to moisture and salt, ensuring long-lasting results.

Our 4-Step Process

  1. Thorough Assessment: We start by inspecting the extent of the damage and identifying areas affected by rust or frame wear.
  2. Sandblasting for Rust Removal: Using high-pressure sandblasting equipment, we remove rust, old paint, and debris to expose the clean metal beneath. This prepares the surface for repairs and prevents rust from returning.
  3. Frame Repair & Replacement: Whether your frame needs straightening, welding, or full replacement, our technicians use precision equipment to restore structural integrity.
  4. Protective Coatings: To prevent rust from coming back, we apply industrial-grade coatings and paints that shield your frame from moisture, salt, and other corrosive elements.

Our process is designed to deliver repairs that are durable, cost-effective, and tailored to the unique demands of commercial and fleet vehicles.
