Pre-sale audit

Three checks before a trailer is sold

Coupling hardware, the brake system, and the axle are inspected on every unit before 216 TRAILER LLC offers it for sale.

01 · Hitch

Coupler, chains, breakaway

Coupler, chains, and breakaway gear are checked for wear, rating, and a lock that closes. A ball-size mismatch with the tow vehicle is flagged before the trailer is offered.

02 · Brakes

Linings, magnets, plug

Linings and the magnet or actuator are checked on electric and hydraulic brakes. The breakaway switch is pulled on its own, apart from the marker lights.

03 · Axle

Hubs, springs, fasteners

Hubs, bearings, springs, and the beam are checked for play, leaks, and bends. Tires and lug nuts are on that same pass.

Desk and bays

Five ways the yard is used

  1. 01

    Trailer sales

    Cargo, commercial, and specialized trailers sell wholesale and retail at 7305 Superior Ave. After the three-point audit, buyers compare length and hitch type on the lot.

  2. 02

    Parts distribution

    Original parts cover couplers, brakes, axles, lights, and suspension. The counter matches each part to the trailer in the bay, using the unit on hand.

  3. 03

    Maintenance and repair

    Bays cover brakes, wheel ends, lighting, and couplers. The job starts from the same three checks used before a sale, so the order names a fault.

  4. 04

    Lifting-system advice

    Winches, ramps, and tilt gear are chosen for a specific load. Capacity, mounts, and the tongue-weight change are written down with that trailer.

  5. 05

    Service diagnostics

    Electrical faults, brake imbalance, and axle noise are traced on the trailer. The reading is saved so the next visit starts from a known point.

Coupler worksheet

How the desk matches a hitch

The counter matches the coupler to the hitch on the truck. Capacity comes from the hardware on that unit, not from the class name alone.

HVY 2-5/16 in ball Dump and larger tandem trailers
