What to Look for When Hiring a Trailer in East London

There are a number of key functional aspects of a trailer which must be in full working order before using it. Below are the 5 most important features to pay attention to.

Tires

Conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres. Look for cracks, cuts and plugged holes. Because trailers bear heavy loads, these types of imperfections can very quickly become a problem and pose a risk to your safety. 

Frame

Carefully inspect the frame of the trailer for cracks and any signs of repairs. This will indicate the structural integrity of the trailer and whether it is safe to drive.

Lights

Make sure all the lights are working. This is a very important check to do before leaving with the trailer. A trailer with broken lights is an accident waiting to happen. 

Floor 

This is obviously a very important part of the trailer – it’s where all of your stuff will go. Be sure to inspect the floor of the trailer to look out for any signs of rust or any holes.

Door

Make sure the trailer door is in proper working order. It should open and close with ease and you should be able to lock it with a latch or key. A trailer door that does not close or locks properly can be a huge hazard to cars behind you when on the road. So make sure everything is in order before leaving the trailer rental depot.
