Maintenance for Flat Top Trailers

If you’re looking at heavy-duty flat bed trailers for sale and want to make the most out of your 3500kg purchase, then you should undertake regular maintenance. If you live in Victoria, Australia, and are in the market for a single axle flat bed trailer, then it is also a good idea for you to take the time to understand the steps required for maintenance in advance, so you can give your double tandem and truck the longest life possible. If you want to find out more about maintaining an off-road flat bed trailer, then take a look below.

Tyre Inflation

If you are continually driving on busy roads, then you may notice that the air pressure in your trailer tyres depletes over time. Part of your maintenance efforts should involve you trying to inflate your tyres regularly while also making sure that the air pressure gauge is properly calibrated. Although every Big Man flat bed trailer comes fitted with durable light truck tyres, it is a good idea to regularly inspect them for cuts, punctures, damaged core systems and more. If you have a 12x7 or 10x7 heavy-duty flat-top trailer, then checking the axle is also crucial to ensure that your tires are getting worn evenly. If you need to replace any parts, you can usually find them for sale from the original manufacturer.

Wheel Ends

You must check your hubcaps regularly so that you can check for any leaks or water seepage. It’s wise for you to properly lubricate your wheel ends too. Water intrusion can easily lead to issues such as seal failure or even bearing failure, which can damage your axle and lead to an accident when you're out on the road.

Landing Gear

You also need to make sure that you pressure-wash any landing gear and that you also take the time to remove dirt or grit from the chassis. Lubricating your grease fittings is also crucial. If you can, you need to check the attachment points for torque levels as well as looking over the landing gear and bracing. You will probably depend on your landing gear when trying to stabilise your flatbed when it is detached from the truck. If you can keep it maintained, then this will help you to ensure that everything is level. If you want to make unloading easier why not check out our 12×7 Flat Top Hydraulic Tipper or our hydraulic tipper trailer.

Flat Top Trailers Sizing

If you want to make sure that you are choosing the right-sized trailer, then you need to first look at the type of cargo that you are looking to transport. Are you going to be consistently carrying containers or are you going to be carrying various cargo from trip to trip? If you know that you only move smaller containers, then you can look for a trailer that suits the size, but if you move different gear, then it doesn’t hurt to buy a trailer that is on the bigger end.
