How do I know what wheels fit my trailer?
To choose the correct wheels for your trailer, you must match the bolt pattern, wheel size and load rating. The bolt pattern refers to the number of bolts and the distance between them, while the wheel size must match your tyre size. The load rating must meet or exceed your trailer’s maximum weight capacity.
You can check your trailer’s manual, measure your existing wheels, or speak with a trailer specialist or mechanic for guidance.
How do I know what size my trailer hub is?
To identify the correct hub size, measure both the bolt pattern and the hub diameter. The bolt pattern is measured between two adjacent bolt holes centre-to-centre, and the hub diameter (pilot diameter) is measured across the centre of the hub.
Alternatively, manufacturer specifications or advice from a trailer professional can help ensure you select the correct hub size.
How does a trailer with brakes work?
A braked trailer uses a hydraulic or electric system linked to the brakes on the towing vehicle. When the driver applies the brake pedal, braking force is transmitted to the trailer’s brakes via a brake controller or actuator, helping to slow the trailer safely.
Trailer brakes are particularly important for towing larger or heavier loads, improving safety, stability and stopping power.
