Maintenance Cycle Of Flatbed Trailer

Regular maintenance cycle

In general, the routine maintenance cycle of trailers is recommended to be carried out every certain number of kilometers driven or at regular intervals, depending on the type of vehicle, manufacturer recommendations, usage conditions and driving environment. For example, for some flatbed or container trailers, the regular maintenance cycle may be recommended every 5,000 to 10,000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first. This includes basic maintenance items such as oil replacement, oil filter and air filter.

Influencing factor

1. Vehicle type: Different types of trailers have different design and use requirements, so the maintenance cycle will be different.

2. Use condition: the frequency of use of the trailer, the load condition, the driving road condition, etc., will affect its wear degree and maintenance needs. For example, trailers that are frequently loaded and run in rough road conditions may require shorter maintenance cycles.

3. Driving environment: Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, sand and dust will also have an impact on the maintenance cycle of the trailer. For example, trailers that travel in dusty areas may need to change their air filters more frequently.

Maintenance item

Changing the oil and oil filter: This is one of the most basic maintenance items that helps keep the engine in good running condition.

Check and replace the air filter: prevent impurities in the air from entering the engine and causing wear.

Check and adjust the braking system: ensure that the braking performance of the trailer is good and ensure driving safety.

Check tires and rims: including tire pressure, wear, and rim tightness.

Check suspension system: Ensure the stability and reliability of suspension system.

Other items: such as checking whether the lighting, electrical system, transmission system, etc., is working properly.

Suggestion

In order to extend the service life of the trailer and maintain its good performance state, it is recommended that the owner or driver formulate a reasonable maintenance plan according to the vehicle type, use condition and driving environment and other factors, and maintain in strict accordance with the plan. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to daily maintenance and inspection work, and timely discover and deal with potential problems and hidden dangers.
