Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I inspect my rental trailers?
At minimum, perform a quick safety check before every rental and a thorough inspection monthly. High-use trailers that go out multiple times per week need more frequent attention. Quarterly bearing repacks and annual full inspections are essential for fleet trailers to prevent costly roadside breakdowns.
What is the most common trailer maintenance issue?
Wheel bearing failure is the number one cause of trailer breakdowns. Bearings that run dry overheat, seize, and can cause the wheel to come off entirely. Repacking bearings with fresh grease every 3-6 months (or every 12,000 miles) is the single most important maintenance task for any trailer.
Do I need to maintain brakes on every trailer?
Any trailer over 3,000 lbs GVWR is required by law in most states to have brakes. Electric brakes need regular adjustment and pad replacement. Surge brakes (hydraulic) need fluid checks and caliper inspections. Even trailers without brakes still need regular tire, bearing, and lighting maintenance.
How do I track maintenance across a fleet of trailers?
Use a maintenance log for each trailer with dates, mileage, and tasks completed. Digital fleet management software like Reservety can automate maintenance reminders based on rental frequency and time intervals, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
