Enclosed or box trailers are manufactured today with enhanced security features. They are also designed to last longer. However, they still need to be properly looked after if you wish to use the vehicle safely. At T G Commercials Self Drive, we make sure that our entire fleet of box trailers and other commercial vehicles undergo regular inspections. This allows us to keep them in top condition and ensure that they function to their optimal.

Here are a few maintenance tips that you should know when you have decided to hire a box trailer in Lincoln. This will give you a clear idea about how we maintain our fleet.

• The air of the tire is checked by the professionals

If you were unaware, tires are one of the major expenses. The right tire pressure is crucial for the longevity of the vehicle. We always check the pressure of the tire before renting out our enclosed trailers. Our professionals even check the auxiliary power switch or the auxiliary battery switch, verify the system pressure and even check the position of the system shut-off valve. Not only do we check all of these before renting out our trailers, but also when the vehicle is handed back to us. The power fuse and the regular pressure is inspected as well.
We also suggest that you inspect them properly before signing the rental contract.

• Suspensions are thoroughly inspected

Signs of heat cracks or irregular wear and tear on the air springs can be checked visually. Our team makes sure that the movement of the suspension is not being interfered for any reason. They also inspect if the air springs have equal and sufficient pressure. You can also visually check them and have the peace of mind that you are renting a properly maintained vehicle. Also, you can carry out these checks in case you are renting a box trailer for long-term.

• Proper lubrication of the box trailer

For proper trailer operation, the right amount of lubrication is required. There are different types of grease available and each has its own characteristics. It is important to make use of the right amount of grease. For instance, you will find both calcium and lithium-based grease in the market. But, you should never mix two types of grease. This will lead to hampering the performance of your box trailer.

When you choose us for box trailer hire in Lincoln, you can be sure that we have already applied the right lubrication so that the trailer works perfectly. But, if you need our trailer for a very long time, we recommend that you speak to our team to decide the type of grease you should use. It is good to keep it handy.

So, these are few of the maintenance tips that you should know before renting out an enclosed trailer in Lincoln. Checking the brakes and cleanliness are also important considerations. If you wish to know more, contact T G Commercials Self Drive.
