Keep up to date with the trailer maintenance to ensure proper use and to prevent damage.

Below is a list of items to check to ensure the trailer operates safely and prevent damage after every use. The trailer needs to be inspected at least once every six months by an authorized weld shop or by an authorized trailer dealer to ensure the trailer is fit for road use.

  • Check welds on the trailer after every load that is over 1000 lbs of cargo weight. Trailers are constantly moving on the road and flexing the metal can, depending on the load, become fatigued over time or if you hit road obstacles like potholes. After using the trailer to haul cargo weight of over 1000 lbs you need to inspect key welded areas. These include but are not limited to where axles are bolted to the trailer. There is a weld that binds the trailer to the frame of the trailer; here you want to ensure that welds are fully welded on both sides of these u-shaped hangers and that the welds are welded 360 degrees all the way around these hangers. A couple of welds are located where the ball connects to the trailer. The coupler is welded to the frame and both welds on either side of the couple should go the full length of the coupler (about 9 inches) attached to the frame of the trailer. Trailer tongue welds are located on the frame that is attached to the coupler which is attached to the ball; here the frame welds should be located wherever the frame rails touch cross-sections of the trailer frame. Gate welds are located on the tailgate of the trailer; here they are what attaches the gate to the trailer. If any weld is not located in these areas, stop use of the trailer immediately. Also, if there is not a weld of at least one inch in length in any of these areas, stop use immediately. If the weld has a crack in any of these areas, stop use immediately. If any weld is separating from the two pieces of metal it is connecting, stop use immediately. If you have any questions about the construction of your trailer, please contact us at 615-215-4285.
  • Check all bolts and nuts on the trailer. Every trailer is different but all bolts and nuts should be tight, not loose. For exact specifications of how tight the bolts should be please call us at 615-215-4285. Some key areas to inspect bolts and nuts are chains located on the coupler where the ball connects to the vehicle. Axles are bolted to the trailer behind the tires. There are at least 3 bolts on either side of the trailer but some trailers have up to 6 on either side of the trailer for a total of 12 bolts and nuts. They should be snug up to the steel, the bolt head should be tight to the steel and the nut on the other side should be tight to steel like a sandwich. Another area to inspect is the lug nuts which should be tight on the wheels. You need to inspect lug nuts on the wheels after every use. All lug nuts should be on the wheels and should be tight. Please call Dexter Axles at (260)636-5311 or AXIS Trailer Products at (574)264-7955 for exact specifications of how tight your lug nuts should be on your wheels. Jacks are also bolted to the trailer frame and need to be periodically checked to ensure they are tight. Another area that has bolts is where the gate is bolted to the trailer. These bolts have lock nuts. The nuts should be tight on the bolts and ensure that the bolts are going all the way through the nuts. One other area to check on the gate is the spring latch which should always have the spring present so that the rod in the spring latch is held tight through the plate that holds the gate to the trailer. The rod should be at least ½ inch through the plate that is welded to the trailer to ensure the gate does not come loose during transit.
  • Tire inspection please contact Jetstar on how to inspect your tires to ensure they are fit for road use and when you should replace them http://jetstartireandwheel.com.
  • Ball coupler latch – Always check your coupler latch to ensure that it is fitting tight to the ball of your vehicle and it is the correct size ball for the coupler you have. For more instructions on ensuring proper use of your coupler and proper maintenance, contact Pacifi Rim International, LLC at 360-859-3828.
