Icy roads and snowy weather often lead to a significant increase in roadside accidents and crashes. Unfortunately, trying to haul a trailer in inclement weather can increase this statistic even further, putting you and your important equipment at risk. To ensure you have everything you need to safely haul your trailer in even the worst winter conditions, check our recommendations below.
Snow Chains and Tires
If you live in an area with extremely heavy snowfall, we strongly recommend purchasing a set of snow tires for both your trailer and your towing vehicle. A durable set of snow tires is the best way to ensure you don’t lose traction out on icy roads and avoid slipping into a ditch, a busy intersection, or the car in front of you. However, if you’re a bit low on cash, or if snowfall is light, you’re welcome to use a more affordable set of snow chains to increase traction until you can get your hands on some snow tires.
Trailer Braking Systems
While you may assume that all trailers come with some sort of braking system, in actuality, only large models require their own personal braking systems. However, once winter hits and road traction decreases, keeping even small trailers from slipping and sliding forward can be difficult. To counteract this, you can easily install a braking system into your trailer to increase traction and keep your equipment from pulling or pushing your tow vehicle forward every time you try to stop.
