If your RGN won’t detach, lift, or lock properly, we’ll get it functioning safely and reliably.

Expert RGN Trailer Repair Services

RGN trailers take a tremendous beating. These heavy-haul trailers routinely move massive excavators, dozers, cranes, pavers, and industrial machinery. Over time, the stress causes hydraulic failures, structural cracks, and mechanical problems that require specialized repair—not just standard trailer service. We service all major RGN manufacturers, including XL Specialized Trailers, Fontaine, Trail King, and Talbert.

Complete RGN Trailer Service & Repair

From hydraulic system failures to structural damage and brake issues, J&A Fleet Maintenance & Repairs offers full-service solutions for RGN and lowboy trailers. We work on all major RGN brands, including XL Specialized Trailers, Fontaine, Trail King, and Talbert.

  • Hydraulic cylinders
  • Pumps & valves
  • Quick-connect couplers

Pony Motor Repair (Auxiliary Engine Systems)

Many RGN trailers rely on pony motors to power hydraulic functions. These small gas or diesel engines are known for issues like no-starts, fuel problems, weak output, and pump failure. J&A Fleet repairs all pony motor types, including Honda, Briggs & Stratton, Yanmar, Kubota, Kohler, and more.

Common pony motor services:

  • Carburetor & fuel system cleaning
  • Starter & charging system repair
  • Overheating diagnostics
  • Hydraulic pump coupling issues
  • Engine tune-ups & rebuilds
  • No-start or low-power conditions

If your pony motor isn’t giving you the power you need, we’ll restore it fast.

PTO System Repairs (Truck-Powered Hydraulics)

Many modern RGNs use a PTO-mounted hydraulic pump driven by the tractor. When this system fails, the entire trailer becomes inoperable. We diagnose and repair:

  • PTOs not engaging
  • Bad solenoids or electrical faults
  • Low hydraulic pressure or flow
  • Leaking PTO seals
  • Broken gears or internal failures
  • Hydraulic pump replacement

We get your hydraulic system working smoothly—whether powered by your truck or an auxiliary motor.
