WHY DOES MY TRAILER NEED SERVICING?

​

‘A well maintained trailer is a safe trailer’

​

Trailers need servicing in a similar way to a car. At the moment an MOT for a trailer is not required, as a result of this we can sometimes find that some trailers are left in poor repair.

​

Your trailer is required to have a service every six months or every 6000 miles.

​

Whatever type of trailer or brand of trailer you have, we have a team of experienced service technicians who can carry out trailer inspections and servicing.

​

Our services offer complete servicing leaving you with peace of mind to know that you are towing a trailer that is safe on our roads.

​

Your trailer will have the following 10 checks whilst in our care:

​

• Check jockey wheel and breakaway cable

• Check brake linkage settings and lubricate

• Check brake shoe ware and remove dust

• Check and re-grease wheel bearings

• Check and replace Superhub seals (if fitted)

• Check the coupling head for wear and tear and inspect the coupling bolts, drawtube, handbrake and bellows

• Check and re-grease the coupling head shaft

• Check wheel nut torque, tyre condition and pressures

• Check lights and electrics

• Overall health check of chassis, bodywork and fittings
