Mobile Welding in Lathrop, CA
Lathrop sits 10 miles south of Stockton, at the intersection of Interstate 5 and Highway 120, with the San Joaquin River cutting through the middle of the city and the Old River on its west side. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at industrial yards, homes and jobsites around the city.
Covering Lathrop and the Mossdale crossing
Highway 120 ends where Lathrop begins. The route starts at Interstate 5 near the Mossdale area of Lathrop, so the rig runs west from Oakdale through Escalon and Manteca and comes off at the freeway, a short hop from any job in town.

Railroad town
Lathrop was developed around railroad interests. In 1869 the area was renamed in honor of the family of Leland Stanford's wife, Jane Stanford, and the line through here completed the last westbound link of the transcontinental railroad to the Pacific coast, making Lathrop an important division point and rail stop. After World War II, housing tracts went in and several large industrial employers moved to town. Trailers, yard equipment and shop machinery get repaired right where they sit, because the rig carries engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
For directions, a landmark helps: Mossdale Crossing Park, the Lathrop/Manteca ACE station, or your exit off Interstate 5 or Highway 120.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Lathrop?
Yes. Lathrop was incorporated in 1989, and its first General Plan followed in 1991. The first railroad bridge to span the San Joaquin River went in at Mossdale, where Mossdale Crossing Park sits today. Highway 120 brings the rig right to Interstate 5 at the edge of town. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you repair equipment at an industrial yard in Lathrop?
Yes. Cracked loader buckets, broken trailer landing gear, bent forklift forks and worn yard equipment get welded on site, so the work keeps moving. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover French Camp and Ripon?
Yes. French Camp and Ripon are both Lathrop neighbors, along with Stockton, Manteca and Tracy, and one trip down Interstate 5 covers any of them.
What hours do you work?
Regular hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After-hours and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, Monday - Saturday and are quoted up front. Call or text us to schedule.
Something broken in Lathrop?
At the river crossing or out at the yard, send the location and the rig takes Highway 120 to its very end.
