We all tend to use our trailers regularly without always realising just how much wear and tear can develop over time.

Trailers that are left standing for long periods, perhaps in a barn or storage area, can also develop problems as moving parts seize up through lack of use.

One important area to keep an eye on is the tyres. When a trailer is left standing in the same position for extended periods, the tyre sidewalls can deteriorate, perish and eventually split.

A simple weekly walk-around inspection can help identify potential problems before they become serious.
