Mobile blasting in Maple Creek and southwest Saskatchewan

Gooseneck stock trailer stripped back to steel

The provincial line does not mean much on a ranch. Maple Creek is about an hour east of Medicine Hat on the Trans-Canada, and it sits inside the area we work.

What we do around Maple Creek

  • Stock and livestock trailers — inside and out, including the floor and the frame rails where rot starts.
  • Hay and bale decks, goosenecks and flat decks.
  • Augers, conveyors and grain handling.
  • Log homes and cabins on the Saskatchewan side of the Cypress Hills.
  • Decks and fences around ranch houses and acreages.

Ranch country is trailer country

Stock trailers work hard here, and the damage hides where nobody looks: under the floor, inside the rails, at the bottom of the side sheets. Blasting takes it back to bare steel so you can see it and fix it before it becomes a replacement — more in where stock trailer rot actually starts.

The cheapest time to find rot in a trailer is when it is parked and empty, not when it is loaded.

Why mobile matters out here

Nobody wants to haul a stock trailer from a ranch south of Maple Creek to Medicine Hat and back to have it stripped. The rig is self-contained, so we set up on the yard, work off it, and take the spent media with us. Silica-free crushed glass means it is safe to run with livestock and people nearby.

Make the trip count

Travel is part of any job past the edge of town. If there is more than one thing on the yard that needs blasting — a trailer, a deck, an auger — doing them on one visit is the most economical way to book it.
