About Ernst Zierow Fahrzeugschmiede GmbH
Ernst Zierow Fahrzeugschmiede GmbH is a family business in Lübeck, established in 1882, with around twelve employees, specialising in the inspection and repair of commercial vehicle trailers and semi-trailers. Its range of services includes maintenance and repair of trailers, refrigerated trailers, semi-trailers, containers and swap bodies, including chassis, brakes, superstructures, vehicle electrics, compressed air systems and ABS/EBS with PC-based fault diagnostics. Brake systems are tested on an in-house brake test rig and the results are documented; safety inspections, tachograph inspections in accordance with §57b and load-securing certificates are carried out independently or in a coordinated manner, while the general inspection (HU) is performed in cooperation with DEKRA. In the company's own tarpaulin workshop, steel canopy frames and tarpaulins are made to measure, and boat hoods, awnings and protective covers are sewn, welded and repaired. In addition, the company offers accident repairs, film lettering/signage, a motorhome service as well as a mobile service and a collection and delivery service. The workshop at Hutmacherring 21 in Lübeck is open Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 15:45.
