What To Know About Car Trailers?

The most important thing to consider when you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable car trailer company like Carasel. Will the salesperson listen to me and answer my questions? Carasel pride themselves on customer service and will explain all there is about the car trailers and hopefully give you clarity about everything that you are about to purchase. You need to understand that depending on what you are putting on the car trailer will also depend on the amount of weight your vehicle can tow.

Making sure you have good quality straps to tie down and secure the load is essential. Regular checking of these for wear and tear is vital as they are going to carry a heavy load and you can't afford to have a strap break while you are on the road due to lack of maintenance.

Always have an idea of what you want to tow and the capacity the vehicle you own can take. In your owner’s manual it will tell you all this information. Just remember the amount of weight once the trailer is loaded cannot exceed the amount of weight the tow ball is able to tow.

Our Car Trailers Allow Improved Visibility When On The Road

The car trailer design we have available at Carasel allows clear visibility on the road as it is a flat bed, meaning there are no high side walls that can hinder your view when towing. When you are towing for the first time with the trailer you may notice that it is a lot longer to tow than a small trailer and you will need to factor this in when turning corners and adjusting the way you drive. You will also need to be aware of the length you need if you are changing lanes but without side walls, you will have a much clearer view of what is around you. The design of our trailers also allows you to have a clear view of the vehicle you are towing and you will be able to make sure it is not bouncing around should a strap work its way loose while you are on the road.

Did you know Car Trailers Have More Benefits Than Just Towing Cars?

While Carasel's car trailers are designed to tow cars, they can be used for more than just this. Being flat they have several other uses as we all know trailers are a handy resource. Our car trailers can also be used for transporting long items home from the hardware store, like pipe irrigation, boxes for your new outdoor setting, furniture (it’s a cheaper option than getting expensive delivery fees!) All you need is your tie downs to secure your load!

Do a big clean put and need it all gone to the recycle centre or local tip? Make use of the car trailer, load it up secure the load, and add a cargo net for extra protection on the road, and off you go. There are multiple ways to make more use of your car trailer than just towing a car, you just need to think outside the box!!!!

Is It Necessary To Have My Car Trailer Serviced?

The answer to this is yes. Just like a car or standard trailer, it is vital that you have your car trailer serviced regularly depending on how often you use it. At Carasel not only for we sell trailers for cars we also service them. We will check the condition of the trailer, including the condition of the draw bar, check the braking system, wiring, lights, suspension and tyres. Our team will also check the wheel bearings and re-grease them for you to ensure the wheels remain in top condition. When you are towing something as large and heavy as a vehicle you need to have 100% peace of mind that the trailer is in top condition to tow the load safely. It also gives you peace of mind that when towing the trailer is safe for you and others on the road.
