The way that you load your trailer plays an important role in the safety of the trip and the security of your cargo. If you aren't sure about the best weight distribution strategies, read on! We cover the basics below.

Weight Distribution From Front to Back

Proper trailer weight distribution means placing around 60% of the cargo weight in the front half of the trailer (which is the section closest to the tow vehicle). Aim for putting the heaviest items in this section as well.

Weight Distribution From Left to Right

Try to keep the weight even from the left side of the trailer to the right side of the trailer. That way, there will be more equal pressure placed on the tires. This will make towing the trailer easier!

Securing the Cargo

It's important to make sure all of your cargo is secured after you properly place everything inside the trailer. Otherwise, items can shift about during your drive.

This can undo all of your hard work of properly distributing the weight! Plus, it can lead to cargo getting damaged or even falling off onto the road.
