Cargo Trailer Parts to Keep on Hand

Owning a cargo trailer is a great way to streamline your business and get things done more efficiently. However, to keep things running smoothly, it’s a good idea to keep a few trailer parts on hand in the event of an emergency. We have compiled a list of essential parts you may need. Read on to learn more!

1. Ball Mount

A ball mount slides into the cargo trailer to give the ball hitch a platform. There are different styles, heights, and sizes to select from, allowing you to get exactly what you need for your specific model. Keeping an extra ball mount is a sure way to stay on the road longer.

2. Tires

Spare tires aren’t only for vehicles! You should keep a spare for your cargo trailer to avoid getting stuck on the side of the road. Make sure that your spare tire is in good condition. Keeping a full-size spare will allow you to get back to work right away without worrying about needing to make another replacement.

3. Jack

Speaking of spare tires, it can also help to have a jack available to lift your cargo trailer or your tow vehicle to replace a flat tire. It can also be useful if you need to examine any other areas of your trailer.

4. Bolts and Connectors

Your trailer may not have several moving parts, but it does have a lot of areas that are connected by hardware, like bolts and screws. It never hurts to have a few extra pieces of hardware on hand.
