Question 28
Posted by Mike on December 8, 2004
What are the likely causes of a trailer fire while travelling at 60MPH on the rear trailer of a loaded set of doubles?
Typically this is caused by a mechanical failure such as a locked brake or leaking axle fluid on the brake drum etc...
Of course their are others but those are the top two that come to mind.
Question 27
Posted by Joel on December 8, 2004
Is it a standard practice to periodically rotate the tires on a semitrailer?
No it is not standard practice to rotate trail tires. Mostly because the costs associated with a rotation maintenance program for trail tires does not compensate for any potential savings. There is limited savings to be had with such a program because if the correct tire is selected for the application then even tire wear is expected negating the need for tire rotation.
