While trailers are incredibly durable pieces of equipment, they do tend to go through a lot of wear and tear. As a result, it’s not uncommon for various parts and components to need replacing every once in a while. To ensure you have everything you need to quickly fix your trailer when a part falls to pieces, be sure to read through our article below.

Lightbulbs

Your trailer’s brake lights are some of its most important safety features and are sometimes the only thing keeping you and the car behind you from getting into an accident. However, if your trailer’s lights go out it could spell disaster and even result in a pricey ticket. Thankfully, replacement bulbs are relatively inexpensive and easy to store and replace. 

Brakes 

Nowadays, a majority of trailers on the market have some sort of braking system. If your trailer ever detaches, or you need to stop suddenly, this system ensures that your trailer doesn’t roll along without you, or plow into the back of your vehicle. However, different braking systems often require different parts for their care. For example, hydraulic disc brakes will require you to purchase replacement brake pads while hydraulic drum brakes will need replacement brake fluid. When purchasing parts for your trailer, make sure to select the correct products for your model’s braking system. 

Tire

 A flat tire on a trailer can be a truly disastrous situation. Without a spare tire on hand, you may have to leave your trailer behind— with all of its important cargo inside. To avoid theft and ensure you and your trailer get where you need to go safely, be sure to always have a spare on hand for your model.
