What Happens When You Overload A Trailer?

In everyday life LUEN often sees that customers overload their trailers, but this is very dangerous.

When a trailer is overloaded, the weight of the cargo will be too much on the rear bumper and the pressure on the front of the vehicle will be greatly reduced, which will make the front wheels lift and we may lose control of the steering of the car, or even lose the ability to brake, which can cause a braking accident.

The connection between the tractor truck and the towing vehicle is one of the most important parts of the driving process. If the weight of the trailer is too heavy, there will be a disconnection between the towing vehicle and the trailer, thus the trailer will be out of control. In addition to this, if the trailer is carrying too much weight, the tractor truck will also move uncontrollably due to the weight of the trailer dragging it around corners.

Even if an accident does not occur, a long term overloading of the trailer will wear out the vehicle and reduce its service life, so that the cost of repair and maintenance is also much higher.

LUEN reminds you: for the sake of your life safety and saving money, don't overload your trailer, and regularly maintain your vehicle in your daily life so that you can use your trailer for a long time.
