Trailer & Caravan

Trailers and caravans can take many forms and shapes. Single axle 6x4, horse float, boat trailer, tandem car trailer or a family caravan. If the trailer exceeds 750 kilos then it needs brakes (subject to state laws). Trailer braking systems are relatively simple. They consist of a method of actuation and the brakes themselves. These can be vacuum, hydraulic, mechanical or electric. The type of brake used is usually dependent on the application.

Have you ever wondered why you often see a trailer on the side of the road missing a wheel? The other main area requiring maintenance on a trailer is the wheel bearings. Poorly serviced wheel bearings can result in a major disruption to your intended use of the trailer.
