conestoga trailers
At Lone Star Trailer Services, we understand that Conestoga trailers are a unique combination of flatbed and covered hauling — giving the protection of a van with the flexibility of a flatbed. These advanced systems rely on dozens of moving parts, rollers, cables, and tension mechanisms that wear over time.
That’s why we specialize in complete Conestoga trailer repair and maintenance — from roof tracks to side curtains, tarps, and sliding frames. When your Conestoga system won’t slide, retract, or seal properly, Lone Star gets it moving again fast.
Sliding Tarp System Repairs
Your sliding tarp system is the heart of the Conestoga — keeping your freight safe and your job efficient. We repair:
Torn or ripped tarps from weather or cargo damage
Broken or bent bows and roof ribs
Roller and track system issues causing binding or uneven sliding
Cable and pulley replacements for smooth, even motion
End cap and header replacements for proper tension and sealing
Track cleaning, lubrication, and alignment to prevent jamming
We use heavy-duty replacement materials and precise alignment to make sure your tarp system glides smoothly every time.
Frame, Rails, and Structure Repairs
Constant sliding and load shifting puts stress on your frame and support structure. We handle:
Bent or cracked side rails and cross members
Broken welds and cracked steel tubing
Damaged track mounts or roller brackets
Front bulkhead and rear frame alignment
Roof and side arch replacements or reinforcements
Our team restores your trailer’s strength, alignment, and function — keeping the Conestoga frame straight and reliable for years to come.
Tensioning and Cable System Repairs
The Conestoga’s cable and tension systems are precision-driven — and even small issues can cause misalignment or binding. We repair:
Frayed or stretched cables
Worn-out pulleys, guides, or anchor points
Broken winches and tension bars
Loose or uneven tarp tension that allows water or air leaks
We inspect, rebuild, and properly calibrate your entire system to ensure smooth, consistent operation.
Roof and Curtain Repairs
The curtain and roof are the first line of defense against weather, debris, and road wear. We repair:
Punctures and tears in vinyl or canvas material
Cracked or loose roof panels
Seal replacements along edges and corners
Reinforcement of high-stress points where straps and bows attach
We can also replace full curtain sets or roof panels, matching your trailer’s original fit and finish.
Rear Door, Bulkhead & Track Repairs
We handle all the rear and front-end components that seal and secure your load:
Rear door latch and hinge repairs
Bulkhead resealing or reinforcement
Roller alignment for smooth closing
Track end stops and locking pin replacements
Weather seal installation to prevent water intrusion
Every moving and sealing component gets adjusted for perfect closure and long-term reliability.
Electrical & Lighting Repairs
Your Conestoga trailer’s wiring and lights need to function flawlessly for safety and compliance. We repair:
Main harness replacements for damaged or corroded wires
Side marker and clearance lights
Interior cargo lighting and switches
Plug and pigtail connector replacements
All electrical work is done using sealed connectors and DOT-approved lighting for lasting durability.
Suspension, Axles & Brakes
The Conestoga system adds extra weight — and that means extra wear underneath. We service:
Axles, hubs, and wheel bearings
Brake shoes, drums, rotors, and air lines
Airbag suspension and leveling systems
Leaf springs and equalizers
Alignment and frame tracking adjustments
We make sure your Conestoga hauls straight, brakes smooth, and performs safely at full load.
