Emergency Landing Gear Repair
Rancho Cordova 95670 • White Rock Road
A complete case study on minimizing downtime for a high-volume logistics carrier near Mather Airport Commerce Center. Emergency on-site landing gear replacement without towing. Fleet yards 100+ trailers across Northern California including Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, Tracy, Roseville, Fairfield, Dixon, Elk Grove, Lathrop, Manteca, West Sacramento & Woodland.
The Challenge: Critical Failure During Peak Operations
"A major logistics fleet operating out of the White Rock Road industrial corridor contacted TruMac Fleet Services at 6:00 AM. A fully loaded 53' dry van had suffered a catastrophic landing gear collapse while decoupled at the dock, halting outbound operations for three bays."
Towing the trailer was impossible due to the structural lean. The fleet manager needed an on-site repair solution immediately to avoid missing a critical delivery window to the Bay Area.
Time was of the essence. Every hour of downtime meant delayed shipments, frustrated customers, and potential contract penalties.
Critical Factors
- Location: White Rock Road, Rancho Cordova 95670
- Time: 6:00 AM - Peak loading operations
- Impact: 3 dock bays halted
- Load: 35,000 lbs fully loaded dry van
- Window: Critical Bay Area delivery deadline
✅ Why On-Site Service Matters
Unlike general roadside assistance, TruMac's mobile units are equipped specifically for heavy-duty fleet maintenance. We arrived within 45 minutes from our central hub with all necessary equipment for immediate landing gear replacement—no towing required.
The TruMac Solution: Mobile Heavy-Duty Repair
Our Technical Process
1. Stabilization
Utilized heavy-duty cribbing and hydraulic jacks to lift the 35,000-lb load safely. Our technicians ensured complete structural stability before beginning any repair work, protecting both the trailer and dock infrastructure.
2. Extraction
Removed the sheared landing gear legs and cross-shaft using specialized extraction tools. The failed components showed clear signs of metal fatigue from high-volume yard operations.
3. Installation
Installed new Jost heavy-duty landing gear legs with upgraded sand shoes for yard stability. We selected components rated for the fleet's specific load requirements and operating conditions.
4. Validation & BIT Inspection
Performed a functionality test and a 12-point mini-BIT inspection to ensure road readiness. The trailer passed all compliance checks and was cleared for immediate service.
