What is the 60/40 rule for trailers?
The 60/40 rule refers to proper trailer loading balance. 60% of the cargo weight should be loaded in the front half of the trailer and 40% in the rear half. This weight distribution keeps the trailer tongue heavy enough to maintain stable, safe towing and prevents dangerous trailer sway on Minnesota highways. Too much weight in the rear causes the trailer to fishtail, especially at highway speeds.
If your trailer is pulling or swaying even after proper loading, it may indicate a suspension, hitch, or axle issue, bring it in for a trailer service inspection at either our East Bethel or Jordan, MN location.
What are the most common trailer repairs?
The most common trailer repairs we see at Central Trailer Sales across both our Twin Cities Minnesota locations are wheel bearing repack and replacement, electric brake repair and adjustment, trailer wiring and lighting fixes. For dump trailers specifically, hydraulic pump and hose repair is extremely common.
Most of these repairs are straightforward, quick to complete, and far less expensive than buying a new trailer. Staying on top of annual trailer service is the best way to catch these issues early before they become costly roadside failures.
Is it worth repairing a trailer?
In most cases, yes. Repairing a trailer is absolutely worth it. A quality trailer built by brands like PJ Trailers, Diamond C, or Load Trail is designed to last a long time with proper maintenance.
The exception is a trailer with severe structural frame damage or widespread rust throughout the undercarriage. When in doubt, bring it to Central Trailer Sales for a multi-point inspection and we'll give you an honest assessment.
