Additional Capabilities

Whether you operate a delivery truck or a semi-trailer with a lift gate, keeping it in excellent condition is vital for safety and efficiency. However, noticing inconsistent movement when carrying a heavy load can indicate something very hazardous. This may also mean that your heavy-duty truck requires tow plates to pull a vehicle or more safely. No matter what, Middleton & Meads is your go-to leader in commercial bus and truck repair and replacement services. We provide the quality work you need to get your broken bus or truck back on the road. Contact us at 410-752-5588 for any questions or visit our Baltimore, MD, shop for personalized and professional services.  

Our Supplementary Bus & Truck Repair Services

With a 100-year legacy, Middleton & Meads takes pride in specializing in commercial mechanical and collision repair and replacement for heavy-duty vehicles, including buses and trucks. Every job we do is designed to meet or exceed Maryland state inspections to ensure your vehicles are safe for your drivers and passengers for the foreseeable future. Our trained technicians deliver a complete range of repair or replacement services for your fleet of vehicles, including:

• Lift axles: Middleton & Meads uses the Hendrickson durable COMPOSILITE SC (the steerable compliant series of lift axles) for haulers to enhance product performance and durability. 
• Lift axle certifications: In Maryland, lift axles require regular certification. Certification involves checking and servicing tire size, pressure, and weight-carrying capacity and testing operations by our certified repair team.
• PTO and PTO pumps: A power take-off is a mechanical device that serves as a power source for additional machinery, like a PTO pump or compressor, without its engine.
• Hydraulic hose fabrication: Designed to withstand the high pressure and demanding conditions of massive machinery, such as dump trucks, to lift, dig, and steer.
• Complete wet line systems: A hydraulic system that uses a PTO to power additional components on a heavy-duty truck, such as dump trailers.
• Kalmar lift plate systems: Click HERE for the Kalmar PDF
• Lift gate repair/replace: We repair and replace the hydraulic platform mechanism (used to quickly load and unload heavy cargo by raising and lowering it) on the back of commercial vehicles.
• 5th wheel plate repair/replace: We repair and replace the fifth wheel plate, which is located above the rear wheels of a tractor. This plate allows the trailer to turn with the truck.
• Tow plates: Find a specialized plate or attachment to connect a heavy vehicle to a tow truck securely; it’s designed to handle the massive weight of trucks like buses or semi-trailers.
• Tow hitches: Locate sturdy hitches to attach vehicles and trailers.
• Equipment restorations: Restore equipment on commercial heavy-duty vehicles, including brakes, transmissions, and suspension systems that handle high stress and wear.
• Welding services: We perform specialized welding on robust vehicles like trailers, semi-trucks, or buses.
