Exhibition Trailer Servicing and Maintenance
1. Annual Exhibition Trailer servicing
- We recommend that as a minimum servicing exhibition trailers is carried out annually
- Running gear needs to be checked and serviced on a regular basis eg wheels and tyres, coupling, brakes, etc
2. As well as servicing exhibition trailers annually you also need to maintain:
- Valid electrical certificates in respect of any 240 volt installations
- PAT testing for any on board electrical appliances
- Gas tests for any on board gas equipment
3. For insurance purposes, we also advise regular inspection of:
- Chassis
- Steps
- Handrails
- Clips, fasteners, bolts etc
- Water systems
- Generators
- Heating
- Air conditioning
- Fire extinguishers etc
4. Regularly walk around your trailer and conduct a visual inspection, checking the following:
- Is there any visible damage that needs repair?
- Are your struts, canopy, wings etc in full working order?
- Are your tyres correctly inflated?
- Are your wheel nuts torqued?
5. Maintenance you can carry out yourself to help prolong life of parts:
- Apply grease to the necessary areas of the running gear
- Spray WD40 or White Grease into locks to keep them corrosion free and operating correctly.
- Clean bodywork and roof regularly
