What are Commercial Trailer Rentals?
Our rentals offer flexibility for businesses with changing demands. Companies can rent trailers for different periods, from short to long-term, whilst also having complete control over the number and type of trailers you require.
Do HGV Trailers need safety inspections?
Yes, HGV trailers do require safety inspections and it is a legal requirement in the UK to ensure they are safe for the road. All HGV trailers must be subject to a robust inpsection, which includes daily walkaround checks. Inspections should always be completed by a qualified technician, recording this in a maintenance log.
If your vehcile is not legal and safe for the road or you do not have regular inspections, it could lead to fines, penalties or even accidents on the road.
How long before an HGV trailer must be serviced?
There is no set time for how often an HGV trailer needs to be serviced, however, it is common to have inpsections between every 4 to 12 weeks. This depends mainly on factors such as usage, company policies or the type of check you need.
Daily checks should be completed to ensure the vehicle is road safe. We would then recommend servicing every 3,000 miles, but it can vary depending on the type of vehicle and usage.
If you are unsure, please contact Fleet Assessย for advice.
