Changing the wheel bearings and re-greasing them

While it’s understandable that finding time to get a trailer bearing repack done can be tough, we cannot stress how important it is – especially to make sure that you are not broken down on the side of the road somewhere waiting for a tow. At Torklift Central we suggest bringing in your trailers at least once a year for a trailer safety inspection and bearing repack. Trailer manufacturers advise this as well.

 

Wheel bearing failure is the number one cause of trailer breakdown, but is one of the easiest and most affordable problems to prevent. Axle upgrades can cost up to hundreds or thousands of dollars and often require extremely rare, special order parts. This extends your trailer repair into a long, drawn out and expensive ordeal. What trailer owners like yourself need to know is that this experience can be easily avoided by getting the annual trailer bearing repack. In comparison, a simple bearing repack for the trailer will save you money and get you where you want to be – out on the road!

Brand new brakes on the trailer!

Brand new brakes never looked so good...

It’s not often that we get requests for axle upgrades in our shop but we recently had a three-axle trailer that needed some custom work. Our experienced technicians not only added new brakes and bearings, but also replaced the trailer axles. Now it looks brand new and ready for the road!

Welding the new axles!

See us for a trailer bearing repack and inspection! It’s our goal to get you out on the road enjoying time with your family – don’t wait until catastrophe hits your trailer and it’s too late to avoid replacement of the trailer axles.
