Checklist Commercial Trailer or Truck Need Services

 

Truck and Trailer Repair by the Truck Factory

Introduction

When you need to find a commercial trailer service company, you want to know they have the experience, equipment and knowledge to handle your needs. Our team can handle any type of semi-truck or heavy duty truck repair and maintenance.

Electrical Service

Many commercial trailers have an electrical system that includes:

  • A battery
  • A battery charging system
  • An in-line fuse or circuit breakers installed in the DC wiring from the battery to each of your lights, appliances and other circuits.

Suspension Work

If you see a problem with your front or rear suspension, it’s best to get it checked out before the damage becomes more serious.

  • How do I know if my suspension needs work?
  • You may notice that your vehicle seems to be riding lower than normal or you hear a clicking sound when going over bumps and dips in the road. These are signs that something is wrong with your trailer suspension system.
  • What can happen if I don’t take care of this problem?
  • If left unattended, the problems caused by an issue with the trailer's suspension can lead to further complications and even result in replacement of parts such as: leaf springs (used on older style trailers), coil springs (found on most new models), shocks/struts (which keep tires from bumping up and down while driving), ball joints (attach wheels to axles) etc...

Brake Work

When it comes to your commercial trailer, brake work is one of the most important things you can do. The brakes are what keep your trailer safe and secure when you're driving down the road. They also help ensure that your vehicle will last as long as possible by adding extra protection against wear and tear on other parts of your vehicle such as the axles, tires and frame.

If you've noticed any signs that something might be wrong with your brakes—such as unusual noise or vibrations when they're applied—it's best to get them checked out right away so that any issues can be addressed before they become more serious problems.

Air Conditioning Service

If your air conditioning system is not working properly, it can be a major headache for anyone. Not only does it make you hot and sticky, but also puts a strain on the engine. Fortunately, there are several ways to fix this problem without having to replace your entire system.

If your air conditioning service isn't working as well as it used to and you suspect something may be wrong with the refrigerant or compressor, then an inspection by an HVAC professional should be in order before making any repairs or replacements yourself. An experienced technician will be able to determine what type of repair is needed based on how much damage has occurred within the system over time.

Transmissions Repair & Replacement

The transmission is one of the most important components on your commercial trailer. It’s used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels and can be found in any type of commercial truck or trailer, including those that haul materials or carry passengers.

Transmissions are made up of many different parts, including gears, bearings and seals. The purpose of these components is to allow for smooth operation so that you can drive safely without worry about breaking down along the way. When there is a problem with this system it can cause serious damage not only to your vehicle but also yourself and others around you if not addressed immediately!

Because transmissions are such an important part of vehicles such as commercial trucks/trailers they tend to wear out over time causing issues such as overheating while driving long distances because there isn't enough lubrication needed between moving parts; making them grind together causing severe damage which may require replacement altogether instead."

Grease & Oil Changes for Truck Maintenance.

When your engine has been running, the oil will become dirty and contaminated with wear particles. After a certain number of miles driven, it's necessary to change the oil to avoid further wear on your engine. The correct type of oil should be used for your vehicle and its intended use. Some oils are designed for specific climates or temperature ranges; others are designed for specialty applications like racing or off-road use.

One way to determine when an engine needs an oil change is by checking its dipstick periodically until it reaches half full (or also referred to as "full" on some vehicles). It's also important not to wait too long between changes since that can reduce fuel efficiency and make your car run hotter than normal--which could lead to more expensive repairs down the road!
