When you own a trailer, it is important to provide it with the right tools. Or maybe the cart needs a facelift. You can easily carry out maintenance on the trailer yourself. When checking the trailer for maintenance, it is important to pay attention to a number of points. For example, think of the tires, the brakes, the overrun brake, the clutch, the lighting and the tension fasteners. Does a part need to be replaced? You can easily order these online at Winparts.
Trailer lighting
The lighting is an important part of the trailer. Lighting builds the basis for safety. In addition, this lighting is also mandatory. At Winparts you will find an extensive range of trailer lighting. Think of the rear lights, complete light bars, emergency strobe lights, but also reflectors and number plate lighting.
Connecting and securing the trailer
In order to be able to correctly couple and secure the trailer to the towbar of the car, a number of parts are important. For example, the jockey wheel is needed to roll the cart towards the car, without it tipping over. Then the cart is attached to the tow bar with the clutch and the saddle support must also be attached for extra safety. Then the power cable can be plugged in using the plugs. Is everything complete? Then you are ready to drive.
Do you leave the trailer unmanned somewhere? Then ensure good theft prevention with a hitch lock or discus lock. This means that the cart cannot simply be uncoupled.
Trailer brake parts
When you are going to drive with the trailer, it is important that the brakes work properly. As soon as the car slows down, the trailer tends to push because the speed of the trailer is now faster than that of the car. This is where the overrun brake will do its job. There is a sliding piece in the clutch, which retracts as soon as the trailer starts to push. This will tighten the brake cables and slow the trailer down.
Securing the load
When you take cargo in the trailer, you are obliged to cover or secure it in such a way that it cannot fall off or blow off the trailer while driving. In our range you will find everything to properly secure the load. You can contact us for a covers, trailer nets,ratchet straps, bungee cords and hooks or eyelets to secure this with.
