Trailer Repair for Nevada, Iowa — Ames Hydraulics

Nevada is our next-door neighbor — about ten minutes east of the shop in Story County — so for the farms and haulers around town, full trailer repair is practically local. Ames Hydraulics fixes grain, livestock, dump, and flatbed trailers with a hydraulic bench, a machine shop, and a fabrication floor that a tire-and-bearing shop can’t match, and Nevada is squarely inside our free pickup range.

Minutes Away, Fully Equipped

Because Nevada is so close, there’s no reason to settle for a patch. Bring the trailer over — or we’ll pick it up — and get real trailer repair: brakes to DOT spec, bearings and spindles, floors and crossmembers, cracked frames welded and reinforced, lights and wiring, and the hydraulics on dumps and live-bottoms rebuilt on our own bench. Story County runs a lot of ag trailers, and heavy hauling is what wears them out.

What We Handle

• Running gear — bearings, hubs, spindles, brakes, springs, and suspension under load
• Floors & frames — decks, crossmembers, and cracks welded and reinforced so they hold
• Hydraulics — dump hoists and live-bottom drives, cylinders rebuilt on the bench
• Livestock & grain — gates, traps, and heavy floors built for weight
• Lights, wiring & couplers — the small failures that strand a loaded trailer

Story County’s Working Trailers

Nevada sits in the middle of Story County’s farm ground, and the grain, livestock, and equipment trailers that work it come in for the same trailer repair year after year: bearings that overheat, brakes that drift, floors that soften, and frames that crack where the load concentrates. Being ten minutes away means there’s no excuse to limp a trailer along — a quick trip or a pickup gets it onto our stands, fixed properly, and back to work.

The Shop Behind the Trailer

What makes our trailer repair different from a quick bearing-and-tire stop is everything behind it: a hydraulic bench for dump and live-bottom cylinders, a machine shop for spindles and bushings, and a fabrication floor for cracked frames and worn hitches. A Nevada trailer that needs a hoist cylinder rebuilt, a crossmember replaced, and its brakes set to DOT spec gets all of it in one visit — and if it’s a cylinder off any other machine, our Nevada cylinder rebuild covers that too.
