Trailer Landing Gear Repair Jerome, Idaho
Trailer landing gear repair in Jerome, Idaho is the kind of job that can't wait. When the landing gear won't crank down, you can't drop the trailer. When it's bent or binding, dropping a loaded trailer gets risky fast. We fix landing gear on dry vans, flatbeds, cattle pots, and dairy tankers at the shop or on a mobile call.
What does landing gear repair include?
We repair and replace the whole landing gear system: the crank handle, gearbox, cross shaft, both legs, sand shoes, and the mounting where the gear bolts to the trailer frame. Common complaints: the handle spins but nothing moves, the gear cranks hard in one speed, one leg drops and the other doesn't, or a leg is bent from a hard drop or a yard mishap.
Sometimes it's a stripped gearbox. Sometimes it's a twisted cross shaft or dry, rusted screws inside the legs. We find the real problem, then repair what can be repaired and replace what can't.
How long does landing gear repair take?
A gearbox or cross shaft swap is often a same-day job. Replacing a full set of legs takes longer, and bent mounting structure may need welding time. We'll look at it, tell you exactly what it needs, and give you a timeline with the quote. Open 7 AM to 10 PM every day at 2745 Tucker Ct in Jerome.
What will it cost?
You get the quote before we start, and the price we quote is the price you pay. If the trailer is stuck somewhere with gear that won't move, we run mobile calls to any I-84 exit from Bliss to Declo, with a flat call-out fee stated before we roll.
Why landing gear fails in the Magic Valley
Drop lots and dairy yards around Jerome and Twin Falls keep trailers cycling up and down all week, and every crank wears the screws and gears a little more. Winter makes it worse — water gets into the legs, freezes, and the gear cranks hard or seizes. If your landing gear has been getting stiffer all season, that's the warning. Fix it before it strands a loaded trailer.
Driver questions
The crank handle spins but the legs don't move. What happened?
Usually a stripped gearbox or a sheared cross shaft. The fix is replacing the broken part, not the whole landing gear set. We can usually handle it same-day at the shop, or come to the trailer if it can't move.
Can you fix landing gear where the trailer sits?
Yes. If the trailer is loaded or the gear won't budge, we come to you — any I-84 exit from Bliss to Declo, docks and yards included. We state a flat call-out fee before we roll.
Should I grease my landing gear?
Yes, and most people never do. The gearbox and the screws inside the legs need grease about twice a year — more if the trailer gets dropped a lot. Ask us to service the gear during any shop visit or annual inspection.
