Regardless of which type of trailer is being purchased, whether it be a horse, cargo or motorcycle trailer, certain questions need to be asked before proceeding. As there are numerous types of Trailers in Mechanicsburg PA currently for sale and a number of manufacturers that provide them, selecting just one can be difficult. First and foremost, determine the main use for the trailer, as this helps to narrow the options. Once that has been decided, take the following things into account.
Open or Closed
What level of protection is needed for the items to be hauled? A landscaping company will find an open trailer is ideal for them, as they don’t have to protect their items from the elements. They are designed to be used outdoors. However, companies hauling expensive items or those that are easily damaged by the weather need a closed trailer, and the same is true for individuals planning to haul live animals. Open trailers weigh less and are more aerodynamic, so keep this in mind when comparing the two.
Axles
The number of axles is of great importance when comparing trailers. As the name implies, a single axle trailer comes with only one axle that bears the load and most do not come with brakes. This must be factored into the decision, as many states have laws regarding trailer brakes and when they are required. If more than 3,000 pounds will be regularly hauled with the trailer, choose a dual axle model with brakes. They typically come with their own suspension and brakes, although this is not always the case. Be sure to ask before making a purchase.
