As the temperatures drop across Virginia, West Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, smart trailer owners know fall is the best time to prepare for winter. Whether you use your trailer for farming, landscaping, racing, or business, taking a few preventative steps now can save you costly repairs and downtime later.
At Pro-Line Trailers in Rocky Mount, VA, we not only sell trailers but also provide service, inspections, hitch installation, and parts to keep your trailer road-ready all year long. Here’s how to winterize your trailer before cold weather arrives.
Inspect Tires and Brakes
Cold weather can reduce tire pressure and expose worn tread. Inspect your tires now and replace any that are worn out. While you’re at it, check your brakes to make sure your trailer can stop safely on wet or icy roads.
Check Bearings and Axles
Greasing and inspecting bearings is a must before winter storage. Bearings that fail can cause major damage. Pro-Line Trailers offers bearing service at our Rocky Mount shop to help extend the life of your trailer.
Test Lights and Electrical Systems
Shorter days mean more time on the road in the dark. Make sure your trailer’s lights and wiring are working properly to stay safe and compliant on highways from Roanoke to Richmond, Baltimore, and DC.
Protect Against Rust
Moisture, salt, and road grime can damage a trailer’s frame. Cleaning and applying protective coatings in the fall helps prevent rust from forming during winter months.
Stock Up on Trailer Parts
From replacement tires to new hitches, having parts ready means fewer delays if something goes wrong mid-season. Shop online anytime at Pro-Line Trailer Parts.
