Things you should ask a trailer and trailer parts merchant

Finding the best trailer that fits your needs calls for the best trailer and trailer parts merchant. A competent one should be able to answer the following questions:

• How can I determine if my vehicle can tow my equipment? You should expect that they ask you first about your vehicle information like the make and model, followed by suggestions afterwards.
• How much weight can your trailers support? While there are decals in the trailers indicating the maximum weight, your trailer merchants should also ask about your vehicle to determine your actual towing power.
• What’s a hitch system rating and why is it important? Your hitch is composed of the mount, the ball mount and the hitch mount. There are weight ratings for each and the hitch system rating is based on the lowest value of the three.
• How should I load? Be alarmed if they say “any way”. They should advise you to always load heavier in the front for a more secure transportation of contents.
• What type of trailer is best for my purpose? Given that you’ve already told them the types of equipment you’re towing and your vehicle information, they should be able to sensibly suggest a trailer for you. Tandem trailers are suggested for light to medium duty towing and galvanised trailers for added strength and protection to wear. Enclosed trailers are perfect for storage and utility trailers for transporting heavy equipment.
