Trailer Inspections & Safety Checks in Peterborough
Why regular inspections save money and prevent failures
Trailers work hard and often get overlooked. At Vines Engineering & Sales, we see it every week — trailers being used daily around Peterborough with worn brakes, seized bearings, cracked welds, or unsafe drawbars that owners didn’t realise were an issue.
Regular trailer inspections in Peterborough aren’t just about compliance. They are about safety, reliability, and preventing small problems from turning into expensive failures.
Why Trailer Inspections Matter
A trailer failure on the road or in a yard can cause serious damage, downtime, or worse. Many issues develop slowly and aren’t obvious until something goes wrong.
Common problems we find during inspections include:
Worn or seized wheel bearings
Brake components out of adjustment or not working
Cracked welds on drawbars or chassis
Rotten or weakened trailer floors
Damaged tyres or incorrect pressures
Unsafe hitches or missing breakaway cables
A professional trailer safety inspection identifies these issues early and keeps trailers road-ready or safe for yard and off-road use.
