Rating of the best light trailers for 2022

Car trailers are designed for transportation of oversized cargo. They are distinguished by safety, reliability, allow reducing the main load on the machine, thereby extending its service life. Before purchasing, you need to study the rating of quality products and get acquainted with the latest products from the best manufacturers.

What are the options

The main requirements for modern popular models are reliability and safety. A wide variety of goods will have to be transported, and therefore the following types of structures are used:

• with drive and brakes;
• with a lowered frame;
• four-wheeled;
• two-wheeled;
• with extended track.

Before making the final choice, it is worth considering a lot of nuances. As a rule, all manufacturers produce products of two types:

1. Flatbed trailers, the main task of which is to transport furniture, agricultural products, building materials, small self-propelled vehicles, and so on.
2. Boat. Thanks to them, it is possible to transport boats (yachts, small boats, etc.) over long distances.

The basic equipment for various products is the same:

Name	Description
Frame	May be welded or bolted. The latter option is more practical, since there is the possibility of replacing a damaged part.
Suspension	The most common types are spring and torsion bar (rubber-harness). The first belongs to the category of more reliable, the second - simple and inexpensive.
Body	The composition includes the bottom and sides. In boat types, the body is not provided.
drawbar	Equipped with coupling head and electrical socket. Available in V-shaped or straight form.
lighting technology	In front of the structure, white marker lights are provided, behind - a block - headlights (turns, stops, license plate lighting, and so on).

Additional options

Popular models can be equipped with additional functionality.It all depends on the wishes and financial condition of the buyer. Often they ask to supplement the design for a passenger car with the following options:

1. Awning with arches.
2. Breather extension.
3. Rolling wheel.
4. Spare wheel bracket.
5. winch.
6. With tipping function (with tipper system) designed for transporting bulk products.

Types of accessories for a car

In most cases, firms produce universal options. They are widely used by summer residents for transporting crops, for small businesses, construction teams. Where to buy such a product? Any specialized store. It is better to choose two-axle options. Universal fixtures are:

• with a special awning, which makes it possible to carry out cargo transportation in a closed space;
• standard with metal sides;
• elongated (provide the ability to transport long loads);
• special platforms biaxial.

Which one is better to buy depends on the scope of further use of the acquisition. Currently, the choice is huge. The best models are sold at a significant price, but they are distinguished by excellent performance and high-quality material. As a rule, they top the rating of branded products with increased reliability and durability.

In addition to universal ones, manufacturers also produce specialized designs that are used to transport specific goods. They are distinguished by the ability to secure the object of transportation to the platform as much as possible and deliver it safe and sound to its destination. Such products are suitable for almost any car and are designed to transport:

• small items (there is a plastic dome);
• mopeds, boats and boats;
• motorcycles and cars.

Operating rules

The current legislation provides for the possibility of using a trailer if you have rights with an open category "B". In this case, the weight of the loaded platform should not exceed 750 kg. If the weight of the car and trailer exceeds 3500 kg, then it is necessary to open an additional category “E” by attending special courses within one and a half to two months.

The use of the platform implies the presence of additional equipment for the car in the form of a tow bar and the removal of electrical wiring to the trailer to highlight the dimensions, turns, brake lights, and so on.

How to ride with a platform

It should be borne in mind that the additional load adapted from behind will not make it possible to sharply accelerate the car and quickly stop it. This must be taken into account when overtaking and hard braking. Risks must be completely eliminated. To do this, it is advisable to follow the recommendations of experts:

1. Brake smoothly, regardless of how much the trailer is loaded.
2. Keep your distance.
3. Reduce speed early.
4. Avoid jerks.
5. Do not provoke the skid of the platform and its rocking from side to side.
6. Observe maximum speed.
7. Try not to change lanes often in traffic.

Certain difficulties include:

1. Maneuvering in large cities.
2. Parking within the city.
3. Reverse movement.

Download Rules

Be sure to place the load evenly. The center of gravity must be above the axle (in single axle models) or between the axles (in biaxial products). The load being transported must not be allowed to move forward or backward. Moreover, the center of gravity should be as low as possible.This will prevent the possibility of lateral and longitudinal buildup, which will negatively affect the vehicle's handling.

The transported load must not exceed the length of the body at the rear by more than 2 meters and the width by 2.55 meters. The maximum allowable height is 4 meters, measured from the roadway. Oversized cargo must be marked with special identification marks. At night or in poor visibility, the side lights should be on.

Restrictions

Whatever brand the product is, transportation in it is strictly prohibited:

• of people;
• flammable substances;
• explosive objects;
• cargo obscuring the view with its dimensions;
• objects that make loud noises that pollute the road, as well as the environment.

The impact of the platform on the technical characteristics of the machine

The presence of a trailer always implies an additional load on the car, namely on the engine and transmission, leading to premature wear. It is worth noting that a lot depends on the class of the car. If you attach a light trailer to a powerful SUV, then this will practically not affect its condition. And if the Zhiguli is equipped with an impressive additional load, then it may not withstand such tests.

It must be understood that fuel consumption automatically increases by an average of 10 percent. This indicator is influenced by the condition of the roads and driving conditions.

According to buyers, you need to take care of summer and winter tires for the platform, although this is not necessary in Russia, but it is desirable for safety. Russian-made products are produced on all-weather tires.

The design must be registered with the traffic police at the place of residence of the owner within 5 days from the date of its purchase. If you purchase goods through retail stores or during customs clearance, you receive a vehicle passport for it, which indicates the model and brand, identification number, body and frame number, weight. The signed contract of sale is considered the basis for recognizing the ownership of the trailer by the buyer. After registration, the new owner receives a license plate and a registration certificate.

Passing a technical inspection is mandatory. The frequency varies depending on the year of release of the platform. The legislation requires that the trailer be insured by obtaining OSAGO or CASCO insurance (optional).

Basic rules of operation

To extend the trailer's performance, you need to constantly monitor the quality of its functional units. Particular attention should be paid to:

• wheel bearings and springs;
• brake system;
• electrical wiring;
• attachment points;
• the integrity of the material on the platform itself and the sides.

How to choose the best option

Each buyer has his own criteria for choosing a product: some pay attention to the brand, the second - to the average price, and the third - to customer reviews. What should you pay special attention to avoid making mistakes when choosing? Professional advice boils down to the following:

• the quality of the paintwork;
• metal thickness;
• thickness of welded joints;
• the quality of the components used.

Models included in the TOP reliable are made of high quality material. Expensive trailers have galvanized frames. Their average cost reaches 60,000 rubles.If the trailer is not intended for commercial transportation, then it is better to opt for products in the middle price segment. The range of such goods is significant. If we take into account the technical characteristics, then they are not much different from expensive analogues.

Features of trailers for cars costing from 35,000 to 40,000 rubles are as follows:

• fastening with bolts;
• boards are galvanized;
• whole electrical wiring;
• in the manufacture of the bottom, moisture-resistant plywood is used;
• there is lighting protection;
• suspension is secure.

Which company is better to buy depends on the preferences of the person. It is best to visit a specialized point and make an overview of the products offered, chat with a sales manager, get qualified help in choosing, find out what it costs. You can order the model you like online in the online store. But there is a possibility of encountering difficulties during delivery, since the weight of the goods and its dimensions are quite significant.
