Trailer Repair Shop Orlando FL. If a trailer is off the road with brake, light or axle trouble anywhere around Orlando, call 800-395-4908. Tell us what the unit is doing and where it is standing, and we come out to it.
Brakes, lights, wiring, bearings, axles, suspension and coupling gear on utility, equipment, enclosed and box trailers. A trailer does not have to be dragged anywhere to be put right.
No Tow for a Trailer
A trailer with a seized brake or a cooked bearing should not be moved at all. We bring the tools and the parts to where it is standing instead.
Brakes and Lights Measured
Trailer faults are mostly electrical or hydraulic and both get tested properly. Wiggling a connector proves nothing once the unit is back out on the road.
Three straightforward stages, from the first call through to a loaded check before the trailer goes back to work.
1
Brakes dragging, lights out down one side, a hub running hot, or a tire worn on one edge. The symptom points at the system before we arrive.
2
Hubs, bearings, shoes or pads, the harness, the connector and the coupling gear all get checked over, because one fault here often follows another.
3
Lights are run through from the tow vehicle and the brakes checked under load, so the unit leaves safe and legal rather than merely quiet.
An idle trailer holds up the truck, the driver and whatever job was waiting on it. We work on it where it stands, anywhere around Orlando, and you are told what failed and what putting it right involves.
Trailers have a hard life around Orlando. Equipment and landscape trailers run the same congested stretches of I-4 and the Beachline every day, loaded, then stand out in the sun between jobs. Heat is the main enemy: it drives grease out of bearings, hardens brake lines, and breaks wiring insulation down long before the mileage would suggest. Road salt is not the problem here, but constant wet and heat cycling is, and the standing water the summer storms leave across the lower lanes finds every bad ground and every tired connector. Florida asks for no annual safety inspection on these units either, so a trailer is only as safe as whoever last looked underneath it.
If the trouble turns out to be the truck rather than the unit behind it, Truck Repair Shop Orlando covers the work we take on for trucks and vans.
Operators running mixed equipment usually have the rest of it looked over on the same visit, and Repair Service Orlando FL covers the general mechanical work that falls outside any single job.
The trailer calls that come in most often around Orlando, and what each one usually turns out to be.
A hub too hot to touch after a short run. Dry or collapsed bearings, or a brake that is not releasing. Orlando heat leaves a marginal bearing nowhere to shed its own temperature, so it goes from noisy to seized quickly.
Lights working down one side only. Nearly always the ground or a corroded pin in the connector rather than the bulbs. Constant wet and heat cycling here breaks insulation down, and the fault moves about until it is properly traced.
One tire wearing on its inner edge. A bent axle, tired springs, or worn bushings letting the wheel sit out of line. Curb strikes on tight site access do this far more often than overloading.
The questions that come up most when a trailer is standing, answered plainly.
1
Yes. Trailer work happens where the unit is standing, at a yard, a site or the roadside, so it does not have to be moved first.
2
Utility, equipment, landscape, enclosed and box trailers, plus the running gear on tractor trailers quoted through the heavy truck line.
3
Yes. Electric and hydraulic trailer brakes, the wiring between the truck and the unit, and the controller end all get tested together.
4
Routinely. Hubs are pulled, bearings and seals renewed, and the brake checked over while the hub is off, because that is the moment to do it.
