When Should You Replace Your Trailer’s Brakes?

PreviousNext
erick.merced October 21st, 2018 Uncategorized No Comments

Trailers that are equipped to haul the heaviest loads are commonly equipped with their own braking systems. This supplements the tow vehicle and allows it to safely stop and navigate traffic without potentially overheating or putting excessive load on its brakes.

Much like automobiles, trailers are available with both drum-type and disc-type braking systems, but knowing when to replace them is not simply a matter of how many miles you’ve covered.

Trailer brakes should be replaced in a similar fashion to that of a car or truck. When performance begins to suffer or adjusting the brakes does not help and there are no other issues causing a decrease in performance, it’s time to replace the trailer’s braking system.

Your specific application, loads, driving styles, and even where you live have an effect on how quickly your trailer’s brakes will need to be replaced. A rule of thumb is to inspect or have your brakes adjusted every 3,000 miles, or when there is a change in brake performance.

Not everybody has the time or desire to undertake trailer maintenance on their own. That’s where Domer’s Inc. comes in. Our technicians are well-versed in all aspects of trailer repair and maintenance, and we can ensure your trailer stays in top-notch condition.
