Our good friends over at JSW Trailers, have recently encountered several horse trailers brought to them by customers who felt something was amiss after having their trailers serviced elsewhere. These experiences have highlighted a critical issue: many trailers are not receiving the thorough servicing they need for road safety, optimal performance, and the owner’s peace of mind.
The Importance of Comprehensive Trailer Servicing
JSW’s expertise has revealed that these trailers often lack the in-depth service required. This can lead to potential safety hazards and decreased functionality. At JSW Trailers, they pride themselves on providing meticulous servicing that ensures your trailer is in top working condition.
Why Choose JSW Trailers?
Their clients travel from as far as Scotland and Nottinghamshire to have their trailers serviced by them. They specialise in repairing and rebuilding all major trailer brands, including Equi-Trek, Bateson, Ifor Williams, and Cheval Liberté. This makes them one of the few UK trailer dealerships with the capability and know-how to offer such comprehensive services.
A Case Study: The Importance of Proper Servicing
Consider a recent case where a customer purchased a used Ifor Williams trailer, which was supposedly serviced before collection. Upon our inspection, they found that only copper grease had been applied to visible parts. No shoes were removed from the drums, and the adjusters had never been greased. Additionally, the door and ramp hinges were dry and had no signs of grease. This lack of proper servicing could have led to significant issues down the line.
Many insurance and breakdown companies have specific requirements regarding the maintenance of trailers. One common stipulation is that trailers must undergo a service every 12 months. This annual servicing ensures that the trailer remains in good working condition, which is crucial for safety and reliability on the road. Regular maintenance can help identify and address potential issues before they become serious problems, thereby reducing the risk of breakdowns and accidents. By adhering to these requirements trailer owners can also ensure that their insurance coverage remains valid, avoiding any complications in the event of a claim.
JSW’s Commitment to Quality
At JSW Trailers, they go the extra mile. Every service they complete comes with a detailed report, and they discuss all findings with the owner to ensure they are fully informed. With over 60 years in the business, JSW is synonymous with horse transport. If you’re looking for a name you can trust, get in touch with them!
Essential Trailer Parts
