Last year we published some tips for Winter Trailer Maintenance. It’s that time of the year to store your trailer, but before we have more tips to make your trailer last longer.

DON´T FORGET TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT SO WE CAN INSPECT IT AND REPAIR.

• Check the tires: Tires are a huge expense therefore It’s important to make sure tires operate at the proper inflation level. If you use tire pressure monitoring/inflation systems make sure to inspect them for leaks.

• Inspect your suspension. Make sure nothing is touching the suspension or interfering with its movement. If you notice any ruptures or rust it’s time to contact us.

• Grease it properly. Your trailer needs lubing in specific areas: Wheels, doors, hinges and more… Apply the right amount in the correct places. If you need help, please contact us

• Check all the lights, from taillights, to exterior upper lights or interior lights.

• Keep it clean. Rain, mud and snow can accumulate in the lower areas of trailers that lead to Rust. If you notice any rust or corrosion, we’re here for you.

• Security is important: Perform a close inspection of straps, chains, ratchets and winches. Look for holes, tears, cuts, snags, loose stitching or embedded particles in the straps and at securing hardware, including loose logistics tracks on the inside of the trailer or rusted winches and hooks on the outside.

• Prevent any further damage. Look for little symptoms that if fixed prevent big damage. If it slides or moves, it needs attention. Please contact us for a free quote.

• Is your equipment properly stored? Check safety chains, straps, axles, wheel bearings, and tongue jacks for potential damage. We can help you inspect it, contact us.
