How to Keep Your Trailer in Top Condition with Expert Trailer Repair
Whether your trailer is used while hauling animals, delivering goods, or towing a caravan, none of these scenarios matter because your trailer is a priceless resource, and just like most vehicles, it needs to be taken care of. Wear and tear are possible signs that should not be ignored because they can shorten the life of your trailer and can also endanger your safety on the road. This is where professional trailer repair and servicing becomes important.
At Barlow Trailers, we realise the requirements that are put on trailers day in and day out. With years of experience and up-to-date workshops, we offer professional services to keep your trailer in its best condition, which is always ready to go on any trip.
Why Regular Trailer Repair Is Essential for Safety?
A trailer that is well-maintained and serviced guarantees utmost safety. Over time, brakes, lights, tyres, axles, and suspension systems wear out, usually without notice. When repairs are delayed, it may result in breakdowns, accidents on the road, or even legal implications of such an occurrence as failure by your trailer to pass the roadworthy inspection.
Trailer repair guarantees:
- Trusted braking performance (especially in situations of load)
- Alignment and tracking for stable towing
- Working electrics such as lights, indicators, etc.
- Safe connecting and hitching devices
Barlow Trailers also conducts thorough safety checks and undertakes repairs to make sure that the minor issues do not become major (and rather expensive) problems.
Common Trailer Problems and How Trailer Repair Can Fix Them
Even the strongest trailers are prone to damage. From agriculture trailers, horseboxes, to plant trailers, all have their own issues and require repair.
The Most Common Trailer Issues:
- Brake system failures: Grinding sounds or a decrease in braking power signify immediate brake repair or replacement.
- Worn Wheel Bearings and Tyres: Uneven vibrations of wheel bearings and tyres during towing show signs of tyres worn flat or worn wheel bearings.
- Lighting and Power Failures: Poor lighting or lights that are not working may be a result of corrosion of the wiring or poor sockets.
- Broken or Damaged Chassis Parts: The chassis may be damaged by weather and heavy loads due to rust, or it may be broken.
At Barlow Trailers, we have specialist equipment to diagnose these problems accurately. Our experienced technicians perform swift and professional repairs and restore the safety and functionality to your trailer.
How to Identify When Your Trailer Needs Repair?
Being able to determine when your trailer would require professional attention can spare you from worse situations. Stay vigilant for these indicators:
- Uncommon sounds of the wheels or suspension
- Better braking distance in braking
- Apparent rust, cracks, or frame distortion
- Trailer lights with flicker or without light
- Unstable towing, lose couplings
It is better to book a trailer check, in case you are not sure. It is more expensive to carry out emergency repairs compared to preventive care.
