Horse Trailer Repair

 

Horse Trailer Tires, Wheels, Axles, Spindles, Brakes Maintenance

 

When it comes to your horses, safety always comes first. Before you load your horses into the trailer, be sure to hook up and perform a brief inspection of the tires and lights. Keep a tire gauge handy and check that the tire is holding the proper pressure (known as PSI).

 

Horse Trailers Carry Valuable Cargo, Always Be On The Lookout for Dry Rot.

Dry rot appears as tiny cracks in the tire. Dry rot can occur even if the tire tread still looks great, and once those cracks show up, your tire becomes compromised. And again, remember to inspect your spare tires too. Because of dry rot, you should plan on replacing tires every three to five years regardless of appearance.

 

Horse trailers need to be kept in good condition for safe operation and trailer tire maintenance cannot be overlooked.   trailer-tires.jpg300x800

 

 

Check the air pressure in the tires before heading out on a trip.  Always check the pressure when the tires are cold. The pressure changes as tires heat up from travel. And don’t forget the spare tires. The correct pressure for your horse trailer tires is located right on the tires.  Most tire blowouts happen because a tire wasn’t properly inflated, so take a few minutes to check before you leave.


  		   
Make sure you’ve got the right tires on your horse trailer. Horse trailers require specific tires, primarily because of the load they’re carrying. Therefore, use tires rated for the appropriate weight.    
   

Don’t forget to inspect wheel bearings. Wheel bearing failure is a tire-related issue that can happen while you’re traveling. To avoid this problem, plan to service your trailer’s wheel bearings every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Moisture buildup seriously affects the bearing grease, which leads to bearing failure. This is why regular service is recommended.
