Trailer Repair in Lincoln, NE
If it pulls behind a truck, we fix it. Lincoln Truck & Trailer Repair handles all makes of trailers in Lincoln, NE — from heavy commercial dry van, reefer, and flatbed rigs to light and utility trailers: utility, landscaping, motorcycle, enclosed cargo, dump, gooseneck, and car hauler. Frame damage, dead lights, bad brakes, sagging landing gear — a roadside trailer failure costs far more than the preventive fix, and FMCSA out-of-service criteria are strict on every trailer that rolls on a highway.

Signs Your Trailer Repair Needs Service
Spongy or Grabbing Brakes
Soft air brakes, an electric-brake controller that grabs, or uneven stopping means worn shoes, bad chambers, or a wiring fault — dangerous on any trailer.
Dead or Flickering Lights
Out marker lights, dim brake lights, or a flickering harness will fail a DOT check and put a dump or utility trailer out of service just as fast as a semi.
Sagging or Bent Landing Gear
Crank legs that bind, lean, or won't hold the load — and tongue jacks on light trailers — need repair before the trailer drops.
Kingpin or Coupler Wear
A worn kingpin on a semi-trailer, or a sloppy ball coupler and bent gooseneck hitch on a light trailer, is a coupling-device failure waiting to happen.
Cracked or Rusted Frame Rails
Cracks in frame rails, cross-members, or a rotted utility-trailer deck are structural — we straighten, weld, and re-deck.
Wiring Harness Faults
Corroded connectors, chafed wiring, or a trailer that only works on some plugs trace back to harness and ground problems we repair.
Common Trailer Repair Questions
Do you work on small utility and light trailers, not just semi-trailers?
Yes — we repair the full range in Lincoln: utility, landscaping, motorcycle, enclosed cargo, dump, gooseneck, and car-hauler trailers right alongside commercial dry van, reefer, and flatbed rigs. If it pulls behind a truck, we fix it.
Can you fix trailer brakes and lights?
Absolutely. We service both air brakes on heavy trailers and electric brakes on light trailers, plus all marker lights, brake lights, turn signals, wiring harnesses, and grounds.
My trailer failed a DOT inspection — can you repair it to pass?
Yes. We fix the brake, lighting, coupling, frame, and tire defects that put trailers out of service and re-check the work so it passes. We also perform the annual DOT inspection itself.
Do you do trailer welding and frame repair?
We straighten frames, weld cracked rails and cross-members, repair dump and gooseneck structures, and re-deck utility-trailer floors and ramps at our Lincoln, NE shop.
Do you offer roadside help for a disabled trailer?
Yes — our roadside team is available 24/7 across Lincoln and eastern Nebraska for blown trailer lights, brakes, landing gear, and more. Call and we will come to you.
