Truck chassis repair and modification in Laval.

The trucking industry has dozens of standard truck chassis from different brands. While these chassis are sufficient in most cases, there is a demand for customized truck chassis tailored to specific applications where standard models are not enough.

To meet this demand, there is Ressorts Laval / C.T. CAM, a company made up of a team of experts who not only know the standard specifications of your current truck chassis, but also know how to modify and equip it according to your needs for optimal use.

Ressorts Laval / C.T. CAM is accredited by Transport Canada to perform heavy truck chassis modifications and repairs. Our work meets all structural requirements for SAAQ inspections, allowing you to get back on the road in full compliance.

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 project, from start to finish, without compromising your truck chassis warranty.

From planning to execution, our dedicated team will assess the feasibility of your chassis modifications and propose the best solutions based on your specific needs.

Whether it involves engineering processes, welding, or finishing, the team at Ressorts Laval Inc. will perform quality control throughout the conversion process. This is a crucial step in the entire process, ensuring that you receive a solid and safe final product that is capable of performing the desired functions.

At Ressorts Laval Inc., we are equipped to perform certain complex modifications directly on our premises, such as changing the length of the chassis and increasing its load capacity. With a longer truck chassis, you can benefit from a new configuration that can accommodate a cargo box or a longer wheelbase that can hold a trailing axle.

Regardless of the modifications made to the length of the chassis, rest assured that we always take care to maintain your truck’s suspension for optimal performance.

The truck chassis is one of the most closely scrutinized components during a SAAQ inspection. Inspectors systematically check for excessive rust, holes, cracks, dents, and any structural damage affecting the integrity of the frame.

A damaged chassis is considered a major defect by the SAAQ. This means the vehicle cannot legally return to the road until the repair has been completed and the truck passes re-inspection. There is no grace period. The vehicle is immobilized on the spot.

This is why it is essential to act as soon as signs of chassis damage appear, rather than waiting for the next inspection. At Ressorts Laval / C.T. CAM, our chassis repairs are carried out to meet SAAQ inspection requirements, and we are accredited by Transport Canada to guarantee full compliance.

We specialize in modifying truck chassis according to engineering specifications, with approval when necessary. We modify chassis lengths to adapt vehicles to new applications. Converting a straight body into a dump truck, a six-wheel vehicle into a ten-wheel vehicle, or a single axle into a double axle (from 10 to 12 wheels) is part of our expertise.

Example of the steps required to modify a truck chassis:

• Repair of broken or unsoldered truck or trailer chassis
• Modification of frame thickness to increase weight capacity
• Adding duplicates or triplicates to maximize capacity
• Single or double extension or reduction of the frame structure
• Lengthening or shortening of single or double frames
• Repairing cracks, breaks, or punctures
• Conversion from 6 wheels to 10 wheels or vice versa
• Repairing cracks, breaks, or punctures
• Repair of rear suspension housing
• Differential ratio change

And more, depending on your specific needs. If your chassis modification is not on this list, call us to discuss your exact requirements. Our team of mechanics will assess your situation and determine whether we can modify your vehicle or your commercial fleet according to your specifications.

To increase the load capacity or change the class of your heavy truck, consider adjusting the chassis configuration and adding wheels (from 6 to 10). This is a service we have been providing for years.

Please note that we do not repair chassis for trailers and semi-trailers.

Ressorts Laval Inc. also specializes in repairing frames after breakage, perforation, or cracking. Cutting, welding, reinforcement: we consolidate, align, and repair damaged frames. We can also repair and weld rear axle housings.

The chassis should be checked as soon as there is any doubt about the condition of the vehicle. Waiting too long can increase repair costs and create safety risks on the road.

In the transport industry, a strong and properly aligned chassis is essential for load support and vehicle stability. Preventive inspections help identify issues early and maintain performance.

You should consider an inspection:

• After an impact or accident
• When cracks or corrosion appear
• During a configuration or equipment change
• As part of regular maintenance

These situations allow potential issues to be detected early and corrected before major structural damage occurs. Preventive checks improve both safety and long-term durability.
