Avoid Overheating Bearings

It's common for cargo trailer bearings to overheat. The bearings will contain a bit of grease, which helps lubricate rollers in a housing. This grease gets used up over time and eventually, water can come in and cause corrosion. This leads to overheating bearings, which can also create an unwelcome noise.

As a preventative measure, it's wise to change out your cargo trailer bearings each year. It's also wise to store a bearing replacement kit in your tow vehicle just in case an issue happens during a drive.

Avoid Driving On Bad Tires

Cargo trailer tires can only last for so long. Eventually, their tread gets worn down enough that the tires fail to maintain proper traction on the road. This can lead to issues, especially on wet roads.

The owner's manual should give you a gauge for when the tire tread is low enough to merit replacement. Be sure to measure the cargo trailer tire tread every so often so you can catch problems early and replace the tires in time before an accident happens.

Avoid Improperly Inflated Tires

Another common cargo trailer issue is tires that are inflated to the incorrect tire pressure. When tires are underinflated or overinflated, it can create a variety of problems. This can be anything from reduced tow vehicle fuel efficiency to an increased chance of a tire blow out.

Be sure to regularly measure the tire air pressure and make adjustments as needed before you hit the road.
