AIRBAG & SPRING TRAILER WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Airbag and spring trailers are popular for carrying heavy loads in Australia, especially since they typically feature new technology and high-quality components that alleviate a significant amount of pressure from the axles.
Even though airbag and spring load systems can accommodate heavy loads and improper load distribution, many trailer owners tend to put their trailers through their paces, which can result in the wheels of the trailer falling out of alignment.
Truck tyre alignment is critical as it ensures that all the tyres are rolling in the direction that your truck is heading. Trailer axles can be misaligned in the same way as for drive axles, but where misaligned driving axles push the vehicle off-centre, a misaligned trailer causes a considerable amount of drag.
You should have your airbag or spring trailer tyres aligned at the same time as your driving axles to ensure that all the driving wheels are not dragging the trailer tyres along, causing them to wear.

BENEFITS
The benefits of aligning the wheels of your airbag or spring trailer pertain to safety, operating costs, the lifespan of your tyres and the condition of your truck. The first benefit of aligning your trailer tyres is that it prevents tyre wear.
Reduced tyre wear means longer life and lower operating costs. A truck tyre may be one of the most expensive consumables in your business. Prolonging their life expectancy does not only postpone the inconvenience of tyre changes, but it makes financial sense. Getting your truck wheel alignment in Perth is a proactive way to maintain your vehicle.
Another financial benefit of conducting a trailer wheel alignment is that it reduces the trailer’s drag and improves the fuel efficiency of your truck. Wheel alignments also alleviate the stress on your truck’s suspension components and prevent costly repairs.
If all the wheels are aligned, your truck is much safer on the road as well. Less tyre wear means a smaller risk of a blow-out and the costs associated with possible accidents.
Misaligned tyres also require higher levels of steering input. If your truck trailer wheels are in alignment, it will reduce driver fatigue significantly.
The most insignificant misalignment can have a paramount effect on your truck’s fuel efficiency, tyre replacement costs and performance, especially over long distances. If you find that your trailer is dragging along due to misaligned tyres, you need the services of a professional rebalancing and alignment team.
