Maintaining a Used Semi Traile

Your used semi trailer helps you to haul cargo wherever it needs to go safely and efficiently. However, for your semi trailer to serve you well, you have to do your part in maintaining it. Used semi trailer maintenance isn’t too difficult, but it is important. Here’s what to do.

Check Your Tires

Use a tire-pressure gauge to check the psi levels in all of your semi trailer’s tires. Air them up according to the levels printed on the sidewall or in your owner’s manual. While you’re checking the tire pressure, you should also look at the treads to make sure they’re sufficiently deep to give you good traction on the road. Watch for embedded objects or punctures that need to be repaired, too.

Wash & Clean

A clean semi trailer is likely to last longer and be easier to maintain. Wash your semi trailer regularly, inside and out. Keep the floor of the trailer free of stains, spills, and debris by sweeping and mopping it as needed. You don’t want to leave any food or chemical residues that can be dangerous or liable to attract pests.

Seek Professional Assistance

Finally, having your used semi trailer regularly inspected by a professional semi trailer mechanic is crucial to its continued functioning. A thorough inspection by a seasoned mechanic will give you peace of mind and ensure that no major issues are going unaddressed.
