Can a kingpin be repaired instead of replaced?

It depends on the wear and the condition of the upper coupler plate. We inspect the pin and the plate, tell you straight what it needs, and either repair or replace the pin.

Do you replace kingpins on-site?

Yes. We do kingpin and upper coupler work in your yard or on the jobsite in Edmonton and the surrounding region.

Is a worn kingpin a CVIP failure?

A worn or cracked kingpin and a cracked upper coupler are structural defects. They will fail the annual CVIP inspection and the trailer cannot legally run until repaired.

How long does the repair take?

Most kingpin and coupler plate repairs are done in a few hours once we are on-site. Call 780-904-8822 for a straight answer on your unit.

Do you work on fifth wheel plates too?

Yes. Cracked fifth wheel plates, slider rails and mounting brackets on the tractor side as well.

780-904-8822 Free Structural Inspection

A parked unit costs you money every hour.

A worn kingpin or cracked coupler plate is the one failure nobody wants to explain after the fact. It is also one of the fastest ways to fail a CVIP inspection.

Once it is flagged, that trailer is parked. Hauling it to a shop means a spare tractor and a bay you cannot get until next week.

We bring the rig to the trailer, inspect the pin and the plate, and do the repair where it sits.

Why the coupler area needs a specialist

The upper coupler carries a huge share of the trailer load through a small area. Heat in the wrong place, the wrong filler or a weld run on top of worn steel creates a repair that looks finished and is not. We work on truck and trailer structure every day, so the pin, the plate and the reinforcement all get done the way they should.
