Build the Trailer That Fits the Job
Custom Modifications for Utility, Camping, Hunting, and Food Trucks
Sometimes, an off-the-lot trailer just doesn’t cut it. Your business, your trade, or your weekend hobby has unique demands, and your equipment should work exactly the way you need it to.
At Thomcat Equipment, we specialize in custom trailer modifications and fabrication. We take high-quality base trailers and engineer them to match your precise needs and vision. We aren’t just here to sell you a rig; our technicians have the experience to build out, modify, and accessorize that rig so it becomes the ultimate tool for your personal or professional use.
Tell us what you want to build, we’ll help get your project moving.
“We ordered some e-track for our truck, and they were very helpful in getting it cut to shorter lengths for us. It was great to be able to see some of the options and pick up some of the e-track accessories while we were already there.”
– Wendy Willis
“Great service. Needed a new axle and fender on my trailer. They fit me in for an estimate immediately, got the parts ordered, and, once they arrived, had the job finished the next day. Definitely recommend.”
– Joseph Haynes
Major Trailer Conversions
Professional Trailer Conversions for Business & Adventure
Have a big idea? We can provide the perfect foundation and execute the modifications required to bring it to life.
Camping & Hunting Trailer Conversions
Why buy a fragile, mass-produced RV when you can build a rugged, off-grid basecamp? We regularly work with outdoor enthusiasts to convert heavy-duty cargo trailers into custom hunting and camping rigs. From reinforcing frames to adding specialized storage and heavy-duty suspension, we build trailers that can actually survive the deactivated logging roads of the Pacific Northwest.
Food Truck Conversions
The mobile culinary scene on Vancouver Island is booming, but a successful food truck requires a rock-solid, code-compliant foundation – not too mention a kitchen on wheels. We take premium enclosed cargo trailers and perform the heavy-duty manufacturing and structural modifications needed to prepare them for commercial kitchen installations. We’ll make sure the chassis, axles, and framing can handle the heavy weight of your equipment so you can focus on the menu.
E-Track Systems & Intelligent Cargo Management
When it comes to securing cargo safely and efficiently, our customers overwhelmingly gravitate toward the E-Track system. Get these heavy-duty versatile steel rails installed along the floors and walls of cargo and flat deck trailers. With E-Track installed, you get dozens of tie-down points, allowing you to quickly snap in D-rings, ratchet straps, or custom shelving brackets. It is the ultimate upgrade for logistics, movers, and contractors who haul different loads every single day.

E-Track makes accessories and securing cargo a snap.
Custom Fabrication
Thomcat technicians fabricate and customize your rig with expertise.
Custom Accessories – Toolboxes, Racks & Structural Add-Ons
Beyond tie-downs, we handle the seamless integration of heavy-duty accessories. Need a custom ladder rack for your utility trailer? A reinforced steel ramp gate for heavy machinery? Or locking, weatherproof toolboxes securely mounted to the A-frame? Our team handles the structural adjustments and custom modifications to ensure your accessories perform flawlessly under heavy daily use.
The Build Process
From Concept to the Job Site
Skip the frustrating DIY fixes and let the experts handle the build. Our process is simple: you tell us what you need your trailer to do, and we’ll figure out the best way to manufacture the solution. Whether we are special-ordering a custom factory build, or pulling a trailer into our service bays. Everything from E-Track to custom builds & hardware, we make sure the final product is durable, safe, and ready to work.
