Trailer Brakes Should Be Checked Before the Next Haul
A trailer that pushes the tow vehicle during braking, brakes unevenly, or has brakes that do not respond needs attention. NTR Trailers offers trailer brake diagnosis and repairs at our Harborcreek shop near Erie, PA.
Ask about trailer brake service before your next loaded trip.
A Brake Problem Can Have More Than One Cause
For an electric-brake trailer, the problem may involve the electrical connection, wiring, grounds, controller operation, brake components, or adjustment. A trailer with hydraulic or surge brakes has a different system to evaluate. Tell us which type of trailer and brake setup you have, and describe what you notice.
Replacing brake parts without finding the underlying problem may leave the concern unresolved. When did the symptoms start? Do they happen with one tow vehicle or more than one? Is the issue constant or intermittent? That information helps the diagnosis.
Bearings and Seals Can Affect the Brake Area Too
A leaking hub seal can allow lubricant into the brake area. Contaminated brake components need attention as part of the repair rather than simply adding more grease or changing the controller setting. When the hubs are opened for maintenance, the brakes and seals also deserve inspection.
The breakaway system is another part of a braked trailer’s safety equipment. Mention concerns with its switch, cable, wiring, or battery when booking service.
