5 Trailer Maintenance Tips
Help will prevent breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your transport trailers.
Proactive trailer maintenance
Pre and Post Trip Inspections
Inspections of trailer components before and after every trip will catch small issues before they become major problems.
Follow load capacity rules
Overloading a trailer risks wearing down the brakes and tires much faster than they should. It can also cause accidents and tipping.
Airbags, wiring, & ABS
These need to be checked to ensure safety for the trailer, truck, and driver.
Repair external damage
Chips in paint and exposed metal can lead to corrosion. Repair any trailer damage right away to prevent damage.
Repair or replace landing gear
Keep the landing gear parts lubricated and clean of debris that could cause damage when loading and unloading.
