How we service brakes for caravans, trailers and floats
Our goal is reliable, repeatable stopping so your van and car behave as one on the road. We start with clear checks that prioritise safety and on‑road performance, then follow simple fixes that deliver results.
What we inspect first.
Electric system checks, magnets and wiring
We begin with a balance test so your caravan and car stop together. For electric systems we test magnet resistance, inspect plugs, earthing and wiring for corrosion or poor contact.
Poor connectors are repaired on‑site to restore consistent signal and torque to the magnets.
Cable and hydraulic adjustment, shoes and drums
We set cable tension, adjust shoes and check drums for runout and scoring. Cylinders and lines are inspected for leaks or binding.
Drums are skimmed or replaced only when measurements fall outside spec; we document all readings for your records.
Controller setup and road test
We tune the in‑cab controller to match load and terrain, then perform a road test to confirm straight, even stopping and correct break‑away function.
- Heat pattern checks to spot dragging that shortens tyre life.
- Clear options and timing if repairs are required.
- Mobile on‑vehicle work across Adelaide to reduce downtime.

How we service bearings and axles for long life
We focus on correct preload, proper lubrication and seal renewal so wear stays low and downtime is rare.
Our checks are practical and measured. We inspect cups and cones for pitting, look for heat discolouration, and record runout on axle stubs.
Quality grease, correct preload and seal replacement
We fit grease rated to the application and set preload to stop spin and overheating. New seals keep water and dust out. Where replacement is needed, we quote clearly.
Measuring wear, heat discolouration and pitting
We measure dimensions, note scoring and log photos for your records. Proper torque on nuts and U‑bolts keeps alignment true and reduces tyre wear.
- Adjusted intervals for units used in water or dusty sites.
- Advice on spares: a kit of caps, seals and grease for trips.
- Work documented with measurements and images for future planning.
| Check | Why | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Cup & cone wear | Detects pitting and loss of preload | Replace only when out of spec |
| Heat discolouration | Shows overheating or drag | Correct preload and lubrication |
| Axle stub inspection | Finds scoring or out‑of‑round | Repair or replace to protect hub |
| Seal fit and grease | Prevents contamination | Longer component life |
Long-term value means fewer roadside failures and lower rebuild costs. Keep your hubs cool and reliable. Call 0447 100 145, request a quote, or book a trailer check today.
Suspension checks that protect your chassis and tyres
Our suspension checks make sure your chassis carries load evenly and your tyres wear predictably. We treat suspension as a safety system that affects steering, stopping and component life.
Leaf packs, shackles, bushes and U‑bolts torque check
We inspect leaf pack arch, look for cracks and confirm alignment so weight sits correctly. Shackles and bushes are checked for play, noise or wear that can throw axle alignment out.
U‑bolts are torqued to spec to stop axle movement that chews tyres and stresses springs.
Equalisers and load sharing on tandems
On tandem setups we assess equaliser action and load sharing so each axle carries its fair share. Poor load sharing causes uneven tyre wear and higher stress on hangers.
Shock absorbers and off‑road setups
We check shocks for leaks and fade to improve control on corrugations and rough tracks. Ride height and guard clearance are checked under load to spot contact risks.
- We look for chassis cracks at hangers and crossmembers and report any needed repairs.
- Where parts are required we plan timing to reduce downtime and keep mobile coverage across Adelaide.
Suspension condition affects stability, tyre life and overall stopping performance. Protect your chassis and tyres. Call 0447 100 145 to request a quote or book a service.

FAQ
What do you check during a brake, bearing and suspension inspection for heavy loads?
We inspect stopping components, wheel bearings, axles and suspension parts to ensure safe towing under load. That includes brake adjustment and testing, bearing clean and preload, hub and drum condition, leaf packs and shock absorber checks, plus tyres, wheels and lighting. We then provide a written report with priorities and recommended repairs.
How often should we have these checks performed?
For regular use we recommend a full inspection at least once a year or every 10,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. If you tow frequently, carry heavy loads, or operate in saltwater or off‑road conditions, we suggest inspections before long trips and after harsh exposure.
Do you service electric, hydraulic and cable-operated systems?
Yes. We test electric brakes, inspect magnets and wiring, adjust cable systems, and service hydraulic brakes. We also set up brake controllers and complete a road test to confirm consistent stopping performance.
What happens if bearings are worn or damaged?
We clean, inspect and repack bearings with quality grease, measure for wear, check for heat discolouration and pitting, and replace seals and bearings when needed. Correct preload and new seals are fitted to prevent premature failure and protect axles.
Will you check axle and hub condition as part of the job?
Absolutely. We examine axles, hubs and drums for cracks, scoring and excessive wear. If machining or replacement is necessary we’ll show you the issue and provide a transparent quote before proceeding.
How do you protect boats and horse floats from salt and heavy use?
For boats we recommend anti‑corrosion greases, sealed bearings and thorough rinse and inspection after salt exposure. For horse floats we focus on reliable braking, correct suspension setup and secure wheel fitment to ensure a calm, safe tow for livestock.
What suspension items do you inspect and torque?
We check leaf springs, shackles, bushes, U‑bolts and equalisers, torque critical fasteners to spec and assess load sharing on tandems. We also inspect shock absorbers and advise on off‑road setups where applicable.
Do you provide a written report and cost estimate?
Yes. After inspection we give a clear written report highlighting safety priorities, recommended repairs and parts needed, plus a transparent quote so you can approve any work before we start.
How long does a typical inspection and repair take?
Most inspections are completed promptly; simple adjustments or repacks can be done the same day. Repairs that require parts depend on availability. We aim for fast turnaround and will advise lead times when you book.
Are replacement components genuine and backed by warranty?
We fit genuine quality parts to correct specifications and stand behind our workmanship. We won’t replace items unnecessarily — we’ll show you the wear and explain options so you can make an informed decision.
Do you service tradie trailers and plant equipment?
Yes. We work on tradie and plant trailers that carry tools and materials, ensuring brakes, bearings, axles and suspension are fit for daily trade use and heavy loads.
