Compressed Gas Tube Trailer Refurbishment

At The Western Group, we understand the importance of maintaining a professional image for our customers. That’s why we offer comprehensive compressed gas tube trailer refurbishment services to bring your equipment back to a like-new state, regardless of its initial condition. Our skilled team can refurbish not only the tubes but also the trailer or ISO MEGC frame while the tubes are being requalified.

Our refurbishment process starts with shot-blasting the frames down to bare metal, allowing us to thoroughly inspect them for any signs of wear or damage. We then proceed to refurbish the frames to a like-new condition, ensuring their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. To provide a polished and durable finish, all chassis, frames, and tubes undergo custom paint coatings in our modern paint booths. The end result is a refurbished compressed gas trailer or MEGC frame that not only looks pristine but is also ready to deliver years of reliable service.

With our commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, you can trust The Western Group to restore your compressed gas equipment to its optimal condition.
