Truck Frame Repair and Modification
The trucking industry has dozens of standard truck frames from different manufacturers. While these frames work well in most cases, there is a demand for custom truck frames tailored to specific applications where standard models are not sufficient.
To meet this demand, there is Ressorts Industriels Laval Inc., a company made up of a team of experts who not only know the standard specifications of your current truck frame, but also know how to modify and equip it according to your needs for optimal use.
Experts in heavy truck frame modification
These types of modifications require engineering expertise and collaborative work. Our structural engineers use the latest state-of-the-art tools while working in tandem with the original truck manufacturer. This ensures the success of the entire job from start to finish without compromising your truck frame warranty.
From planning to execution, our dedicated staff will work on your project and study the feasibility of various customization strategies and design options that will simply leave you speechless.
Examples of truck frame extensions
Whether it’s engineering processes, welding, or finishing, the team at Ressorts Industriels Laval Inc. will perform quality control throughout the conversion process. This is a crucial step in the entire process that ensures you receive a final product that is strong, safe, and capable of performing the desired functions.
At Ressorts Industriels Laval Inc., we are equipped to perform certain complex modifications directly on our premises, such as changing the length of the frame and increasing its load capacity. With a longer truck frame, you can benefit from a new configuration that can accommodate a cargo box or a longer wheelbase that can hold a trailing axle.
No matter what frame length modifications are required, you can rest assured that we will always take care to preserve your truck’s suspension for optimal performance.

Engineer’s report – SAAQ certification – Re-plating included!
Structural engineering changes to the differential are other complex tasks that fall within our area of expertise. By changing the differential ratio, you can achieve higher top speeds with better fuel economy and/or faster acceleration.
Depending on the load and topography, you will have the option of spending a little more gas in order to pull a heavier load. With this new acceleration power, you will maintain stability on inclined roads.
No matter what type of modification, conversion or repair you need on your truck frame, our professional team of experts will take care of all your trucking needs, with your best interests at heart!
