Frequently Asked Questions

When should I winterize my rental trailers?
Winterize before the first hard freeze in your area, typically October or November in northern states. For rental fleets, start winterizing trailers as soon as demand drops in the fall. Waiting too long risks freeze damage to brake lines and corrosion from road salt exposure.
Do I really need to jack up trailers for winter storage?
Yes, if possible. Leaving trailers sitting on their tires for months causes flat spots that may become permanent. Jack stands take the weight off the tires and also prevent the springs from taking a set. This is especially important for trailers stored on concrete, which draws moisture.
How long does it take to winterize a trailer?
A thorough winterization takes 1-2 hours per trailer. Utility trailers are faster since they have no enclosed spaces. Enclosed trailers take longer due to interior cleaning, vent management, and moisture control. Budget a full day for every 4-6 trailers in your fleet.
