Quick Trailer Tips

Balance Your Load for a Safer Ride

Proper weight distribution is essential for safe and stable towing. An unbalanced load can cause trailer sway, poor handling, and increased wear on tires and brakes.

For optimal stability, 60% of the cargo weight should be positioned in the front half of the trailer, evenly distributed over the axles. Placing too much weight at the back can lead to swaying and loss of control, while excessive weight at the front puts strain on the tow vehicle.

Securing the load properly is just as important. Use tie-down straps, wheel chocks, and weight distribution hitches to keep cargo in place and prevent shifting during transit.A well-balanced load improves towing efficiency, braking performance, and overall safety.
