Heavy-duty towing
A loaded tractor-trailer is not a bigger car. It needs a rated wrecker, a rated operator and a plan before anything gets hooked. That is what we send.

Trailer repair
Trailer repair where the trailer is standing
Titan Tow & Repair repairs trailers where they sit, across Kansas City and northwest Missouri, 24 hours a day. We fix lighting and wiring faults, landing gear, air lines and glad hands, trailer brakes, doors and hardware, and tires and wheel ends, on dry vans, reefers and flatbeds — loaded or empty, at a dock, a yard or the shoulder.
Most trailer faults do not stop a trailer moving. They stop it being legal to move, which is worse — the load sits while the paperwork says it cannot go anywhere.

How it runs
From your call to the truck moving
01
Tell us the trailer and the fault
Dry van, reefer or flatbed, loaded or empty, and what has failed. That decides which parts come on the truck.
02
We come to the trailer
Dock, yard, scale or shoulder. The trailer does not have to be coupled and the tractor does not have to stay.
03
Legal to move again
Fixed on the spot where the fault allows it. Where it does not, we are a towing company on the same phone number.
Where

Every city we cover gets the same service from the same yard. Pick yours for local detail — corridors, drive time and what tends to go wrong there.

Mobile truck repair
Our service truck carries the parts and the tools. Faster for your driver, cheaper for your office, and the load keeps moving.

Fleets do not need a hero, they need a truck that turns up and paperwork that reconciles. We do both.

Bad rigging wrecks loads and hurts people. Recovery is the part of this job where training is the whole difference.

My trailer lights have failed at a scale. Can you come out to it?
Yes, and lighting is the most common trailer call we run. A lighting fault is the classic example of a trailer that drives perfectly and still cannot legally leave — an inspector will hold it, and the load sits until the lamp works. We carry markers, tails, brake and turn lamps, harness repair parts and seven-way plugs on the service truck, and most of these faults turn out to be a corroded ground or a chafed harness rather than the lamp itself. Tell us which lamps are dead and whether they died together, because that on its own usually tells us where the fault is before we set off.
Can you repair a reefer trailer?
We repair the trailer — lights, wiring, brakes, air lines, landing gear, doors and tires — on a reefer the same as on a dry van. What we do not do is repair the refrigeration unit itself: that is specialist work on a sealed system, and a reefer plant that has stopped holding temperature needs the manufacturer's service network rather than a roadside truck. Call us for the trailer and we will be straight with you about which of the two you actually have, because a reefer that will not cool and a reefer that will not roll are different problems with different answers.
Do you come out to distribution centers and drop yards?
Yes — dropped trailers at docks, drop yards and distribution centers are a large share of trailer work, and the tractor does not need to be there. Tell us the gate procedure, who to call on arrival and the unit number so we work on the right trailer; a yard with forty trailers in it is exactly where the wrong one gets fixed. If the yard has restricted hours, say so when you call — that changes when we can be there, not whether.
Can you fix trailer doors and roll-up doors?
Yes — roll-up and swing doors, hinges, latches, seals and damaged rear frames are on the standard list. Door faults sit in the same category as lighting: the trailer drives fine and still cannot work, because a door that will not shut or seal is a load that cannot be secured or a reefer that cannot hold temperature. Describe what the door is doing and whether the trailer is loaded, and we will say honestly whether it is a roadside repair or bodywork for a shop.
Does the tractor have to stay with the trailer?
No. A dropped trailer at a dock, in a yard or on a lot is a job we run regularly, and there is no need for a driver to sit with it while we work. Tell us where it is, how we get through the gate and who to call when we arrive, and give us a way to confirm the unit number so we work on the right trailer — a yard with forty trailers in it is exactly where the wrong one gets fixed. If the trailer is somewhere with restricted hours, say so when you call, because that changes when we can realistically be there rather than whether we can.
