GENERAL OVERHAUL FOR EXTENDED TRAILER LIFE

GENERAL OVERHAUL Every vehicle is liable to wear. the moving, controllable parts must be checked and if necessary replaced after every 8 to 12 years of service life. this is quite a wide margin because the condition of a trailer totally depends on a number of factors, such as level of use and loads carried, mileage and how well it has been maintained. Maintenance carried out on time will extend the life of a vehicle and reduce the risk of damage. But even if the vehicle has been carefully maintained there will come a moment that a general overhaul must be considered.
