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.
