Winter Takes a Toll on Your Livestock Trailer
After enduring months of snow, ice, road salt, and freezing temperatures, your trailer may have developed hidden issues that could lead to dangerous breakdowns or compliance violations. Even if it was stored properly, sitting idle for months can result in:
✅ Rust & Corrosion – Weakening the frame, flooring, and axles.
✅ Brake & Bearing Wear – Cold and moisture can cause brakes to seize or bearings to dry out.
✅ Electrical Problems – Damaged wiring can lead to faulty brake lights, turn signals, or interior lighting.
✅ Floor & Ramp Damage – Wood rot or rusted metal can pose serious safety risks for your animals.
✅ Tire & Suspension Issues – Tires can crack, flatten, or lose pressure in cold temperatures.
Before loading up your valuable livestock, make sure your trailer is safe, functional, and up to code!
