Farm equipment rust proofing, in the months it sits

Farm equipment rust proofing is done on the rack in Port Huron and quoted by the job, for trucks, trailers and implements you can drive or tow in from the Thumb. December to March is the best time, with the equipment parked and our bay quiet. From Sandusky, Croswell, Yale or Peck it's 30 to 45 minutes down M-19 or M-25.

2498 Lapeer Rd, Port Huron, MI. 7 days · 9 AM – 10 PM, by appointment. Key drop box for drop-offs.

What we can take on the rack

Anything that fits on a two-post lift or can be worked from a creeper. The frame, tongue, axles and hardware get the same treatment as a truck. We don't travel to the farm, so it has to be something you can drive or tow in.

  • Farm pickups and one-ton flatbeds, priced by size
  • Grain, stock, flatbed, utility, skid-steer and equipment trailers, quoted by the job
  • Towable implement frames and sprayers

Several units, one quote

Several vehicles at one address get one quote, priced per unit. We schedule them across a week or two so nothing is out of reach when you need it.

Why dirt roads make it worse

Gravel roads are no break from the salt. Counties spread chloride on them for dust control through the summer. It pulls moisture from the air and stays corrosive on a dry day. A truck on dirt roads all year and salted pavement all winter is the hardest case there is, and that combination eats frames.

Questions

Questions people ask

Do you rust proof farm trailers and implements?
Yes, if they fit on the lift or can be worked from underneath. Trailers, flatbeds and towable implement frames get the full FLUID FILM® treatment, quoted by the job.
Do you come out to the farm?
No. All work is done at 2498 Lapeer Rd, Port Huron, MI. Several units from one farm can come in as a block on one morning or over a week, so you only make the drive once. Call (810) 357-3023 if you're not sure a machine fits on the lift.
When is the best time to do farm equipment?
December to March, when the equipment is parked between harvest and planting. Trucks that run all year are best done in the fall. The key drop box means the drive down doesn't have to be during working hours.
How far is Port Huron from Sandusky, Croswell or Yale?
30 to 45 minutes, down M-19 or M-25 to Lapeer Rd. Most jobs take about an hour, so plan on a morning.
Can you treat a trailer that is already rusting?
Yes, even one that's been sitting outside for years. Heavy scale gets knocked off first, billed by the hour, then FLUID FILM® goes over what's left and stops it spreading. Send a photo through the quote form and we'll tell you where it stands, usually the same day.
