STRUCTURAL BODY REPAIRS (HGV & LIGHT COMMERCIAL)

AHCraft delivers expert commercial vehicle body and chassis repairs across the UK, restoring structural integrity to light commercial vehicles, Luton box vans, 7.5T rigid trucks, and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). Commercial fleets endure heavy workloads and severe road stresses, making prompt, professional remediation vital when structural components suffer impact trauma, fatigue, or stress cracking. Operating from our Bradford facility, our skilled body builders carry out precision realignment, framework reconstruction, and accident remediation to keep your vehicles compliant, safe, and productive on the road.

Precision Chassis & Subframe Realignment

Chassis damage compromises the safety, handling, and load-bearing performance of any commercial vehicle. Our experienced technicians provide heavy-duty chassis repairs, restoring twisted, cracked, or fatigued crossmembers and longitudinal rails to safe operational tolerances. By combining structural welding with exacting alignment standards, we ensure your vehicle tracks true and maintains correct axle weight distribution under full commercial payloads.

Pillar, Frame & Superstructure Repairs

Corner pillars, door posts, and side uprights carry significant structural loads and often bear the brunt of bay impacts, tight loading dock collisions, or heavy multi-drop stress. We repair and replace damaged structural pillars, reinforcing connection points to eliminate torsional flex and preserve body geometry. Whether working on lightweight aluminium bodies or heavy-duty steel sub-assemblies, our repairs restore the structural rigidity required for demanding transport duties.

Accident-Damaged Box Reconstruction

From low-clearance bridge strikes and side-swipes to loading bay impacts, we provide comprehensive repairs for damaged Luton boxes and commercial rigid bodies. We repair or replace crumpled corner cappings, fractured panels, deformed roof bows, and fractured bulkhead frames. Every rebuild focuses on returning the vehicle to a watertight, high-strength state, protecting cargo integrity and preventing costly ongoing water ingress.
