When an off-the-shelf solution does not fit, local fabrication capability can make the difference.
Some towing jobs are simple: install a hitch, wire the trailer connector, and the customer is towing by the afternoon. Others are not. Unusual vehicle configurations, non-standard trailer setups, modified frames, or specialized commercial applications may require fabrication, adaptation, or engineering review that a standard installation cannot provide.
Torklift Central in Kent, WA has fabrication and installation capability for towing projects that go beyond off-the-shelf solutions.
When Might a Customer Need Custom Towing Support?
- The vehicle has been modified (lift kit, custom bumper, non-standard frame).
- No standard hitch is available for the vehicle.
- The trailer connection requires non-standard hardware or mounting.
- The towing setup requires fabrication, brackets, or adapters beyond standard kits.
- A commercial application needs a custom solution.
