At Kingpin Trailers, we’re proud to partner with Hyundai Translead, the leading manufacturer of semi-trailers in North America since 2017. Hyundai trailers are designed with progressive engineering methods to ensure efficiency, optimal performance, and secure freight, making them the go-to choice for commercial truckers!
Like all vehicles, these trailers require regular upkeep to maintain their performance. If you’ve purchased a Hyundai trailer from our stock, we’re happy to provide fleet maintenance and 24/7 emergency repairs.
Keep reading to learn more about the importance of maintaining your trailer, how to care for Hyundai’s different models, and why Kingpin Trailers is your go-to choice for professional fleet maintenance!
The Role of Maintenance in Safely Transporting Hauls
Full-time commercial truckers use their trailers extensively. If you go too long between maintenance checks, your trailer’s quality and durability will wear down, posing several safety risks, from insecure loads to mechanical failures.
Regular upkeep of your trailer will ensure its structural integrity and the condition of the tires, lights, loading equipment, and other essential components. You won’t need to worry about losing products on the road or breaking down on the side of the highway – a well-maintained trailer will go the distance!
Preventative Maintenance Tasks for Hyundai Trailers
While you can’t replace professional upkeep services for commercial fleets, there are a few basic things you can do to keep your trailer in good shape after travelling long distances:
- Conduct daily inspections before each trip and look for clear signs of wear
- Regularly check the function of lights and reflectors
- Check the tire pressure
- Inspect brakes and moving parts, and apply lubricant if needed
- Once a month, inspect the trailer’s HVAC and cargo restraint systems
- Bring the trailer to certified technicians for annual inspections and repairs
We stock three main trailer types from Hyundai: dry vans, reefers, and flat decks, and each trailer model transports different kinds of freight. In addition to general upkeep, there are additional tasks you can perform for each model, which we’ll examine below:
Dry Van Trailers
The 2025 Hyundai Composite 53′ Dry Van Trailer is a closed-box vehicle designed to haul boxed, palletized, and loose cargo. Some preventative maintenance that drivers can perform include:
- Checking the trailer box walls and ceiling for dents, rust, or other signs of damage
- Inspecting the loading/unloading door seals and hinges for wear
- Cleaning the trailer box floor to remove any debris or substance that could damage your loads
Reefer Trailers
Truck drivers haul temperature-controlled goods with reefer trailers, such as the 2025 Hyundai Thermotech, which has insulated walls and refrigeration components. To ensure food stays fresh and safe on the road, drivers can take the following measures:
- Keep the interior clean to prevent bacteria growth
- Check the refrigeration levels for signs of overheating and monitor the temperature settings
- Check for signs of damage to the insulation
Flat-Deck Trailers
Flat-deck trailers like the 2023 Hyundai Steel Tridem Axle transports heavy loads and machinery strapped to an open deck with tie-downs. To prevent loose or damaged freight, drivers can do the following:
- Clean the main deck regularly to remove any substance that could cause damage
- Check the suspension springs, shocks, and bushings for wear
- Inspect straps, chains, and other tie-downs for damage
