Welding & Fabrication

RT Group performs structural welding and custom fabrication for trucks and trailers in Zion, IL — frame repair and fabrication work done in-house, minutes off I-94.

Frame Repair

Cracked or bent frame rails from road damage, dock incidents, or fatigue get repaired with structural welding built to hold up under real load — not a cosmetic patch.

Custom Fabrication

Need a mounting bracket, crossmember, or custom structural piece that isn't a stock part? Our shop fabricates what standard parts inventories don't carry.

Structural Welding for Trailers

  • Frame rail and crossmember repair
  • Structural floor support welding
  • Custom brackets and mounting fabrication
  • Repair welding tied into trailer repair jobs (see Trailer Repair)

Most welding and fabrication jobs happen alongside a broader repair — see our Trailer Repair page for the full picture.

Why RT Group

Built for Drivers Who Can't Afford Downtime

In-house welding, no subcontractor delay

Structural work happens in the same bay as the rest of the repair.

Built for load, not just looks

Welds are structural repairs, not cosmetic patches.

Custom fabrication capability

We can fabricate parts that aren't in a standard inventory.

Tied into full trailer repair

Welding is often one part of a larger trailer fix — we handle both.
