Routine Servicing for Michelin Tyre Press Trailers
Elston Trailers regularly carries out scheduled servicing and inspection work on a fleet of specialist tyre press trailers used by Michelin. These trailers operate continuously in the field, making regular maintenance essential to ensure they remain safe, reliable and fully operational.
Because the trailers are in constant use, preventative servicing plays a critical role in identifying wear, maintaining performance and avoiding unexpected downtime.
Full Safety and Structural Checks
Each service includes a comprehensive inspection covering the key operational and safety components of the trailer. Our engineers check:
-
Braking systems
-
Wheel bearings
-
Couplings and towing points
-
Lighting and electrical systems
-
Wheels and tyres
-
Structural integrity of the chassis and frame
This process ensures that any issues are identified early and rectified before they develop into larger problems.
Inspection Records and Traceability
As part of the service process, inspection paperwork is completed and recorded for every trailer. This provides a clear maintenance history and full traceability for the equipment, ensuring that service intervals and any work carried out are properly documented.
Maintaining accurate records is particularly important for fleets operating regularly across multiple locations.
Clear Service Identification
Once the service is complete, external service stickers are fitted to the trailer, clearly showing when the next inspection is due. This provides a quick visual reference for operators and helps ensure the trailers remain on schedule for their next service.
Regular servicing like this keeps heavily used specialist trailers safe, compliant and ready for continuous operation.
