4. Do Inspection Of The Wheel Torque
When you have performed all three previous secret tips, that is to say all three previous step deck trailer inspections- the next step would be- doing an inspection of the wheel torque.
But wait, why a wheel torque inspection would be of any importance when buying a trailer?
Yes, when you will get to this 4th secret tip to know when buying a step deck trailer, you might end up wondering how a product that can cost less than $100 can be of such a great importance.
Furthermore you can read more about- why wheel torque should be properly adjusted, and how it can have an overall impact.

It goes like this- Although the wheel torque is a small piece of equipment, when on the road rolling with your truck and trailer it can impact in a great measure on your safety and on the safe and time-efficient delivery of your loads. Therefore, staying safe while delivering the loads on time is what makes a truck driver successful.
Moreover, we can all agree that life safety is all what matters and right away after that comes the safe delivery of the loads. So in order for you to buy the trailer that can serve you properly
It is also of a great importance that you perform the inspection of the wheel torque – if it fits perfectly and if it can be applied correctly.
On the negative side- if a wheel torque cannot be applied correctly (if it doesn’t fit as it should) it could lead to accidents that could be caused due to separation of the wheel. And wheel off accidents are really common nowadays. Just a simple-proper application of the wheel torque can be a life-saver.
All in all, it is my suggestion that no matter how new and preserved the trailer that you want to buy might look like- still you will have to do a proper wheel torque inspection.
