Winter can create several issues for truck drivers and haulers across Canada. Harsh weather conditions like blizzards, snowstorms, and icy rain can increase the risk of accidents, while the cold can create issues for your fleet, such as breakdowns and other mechanical failures. Before you brave the winter roads in Alberta, you can safely prepare for your upcoming trips by taking your trailer in for a routine check.
Kingpin Trailers is your go-to source for top-quality trailer repair and maintenance. Since 2009, we have been proudly servicing Western Canadian fleets to keep both drivers and their trailers safe on Canada’s icy highways. Keep reading to learn more about the importance of seasonal trailer maintenance and the services we offer at Kingpin Trailers!
The Importance of Seasonal Trailer Maintenance
Winter presents unique challenges for trailers. Colder temperatures can cause tires to lose pressure, while ice and snow can cause them to lose traction. Other issues with the trailer, like materials becoming brittle and fluids freezing, can occur. In addition to general maintenance, seasonal checks should be done to ensure that your trailer is able to withstand harsh conditions and handle icy roads. Scheduling a winter inspection will ensure you catch any potential issues early on so that your trailer remains reliable regardless of the weather conditions.
Avoid Winter Road Mishaps with Preventative Repair
Preventative maintenance is key to ensuring you avoid any mishaps or accidents while on the road. In addition to having routine checks of vital components like tires, lights, and brakes, it’s important to address any current issues you’re experiencing with your trailer before starting your winter hauls. We offer several maintenance and repair services to keep your trailer secure on the road. If you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy fleet maintenance team, Kingpin Trailers has you covered.
The Services We Offer
At Kingpin, we offer a comprehensive list of services to ensure your truck and trailer stay safe and secure, whatever the weather! A couple of our services for fleets include the following:
Brake System Repairs and Adjustments: Your trailer’s brake system can suffer from a lot of strain during the winter. Our team at Kingpin will diagnose the issue and repair the air and hydraulic systems, and we’ll check for other wear and tear.
Suspension and Axle Services: Winter roads can cause wear and tear on your trailer’s suspension and axle. Our technicians will examine their current state and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your suspension absorbs the shocks and bumps of an icy highway and your axle maintains the trailer’s weight.
