Load Distribution

Home > Trailers > Load Distribution    
Proper trailer loading is key to proper function and safety. Uneven or inappropriate loading of your trailer can cause it to be unstable, which could result in property and/or bodily injury. Please follow loading instructions carefully.

1. Be sure to check your vehicle's towing capacity before towing your trailer.
2. Lightweight cargo trailers are not designed to be pulled by trucks larger than 1-ton capacity.

Improper use of weight distribution hitch can cause damage to your trailer. Carefully read the instructions supplied with the distribution hitch.

BE RESPONSIBLE. THE THREE MAIN CAUSES OF TRAILER ACCIDENTS ARE:
  1. Driver error.
  2. Failure to match speed with conditions.
  3. Improper loading - less than 10% hitch.
TOWING TIPS
  1. Trailer swaying is often caused by inadequate hitch weight.
  2. Never carry passengers inside the trailer.
  3. Check hub temperature at each rest stop.
  4. Allow one car and trailer length between you and the vehicle ahead for every 10 mph of speed.
