This trailer inspection checklist supports onsite yard service teams in assessing trailer condition and roadworthiness. It guides checks across ground level items, body and chassis, wheels and tyres, lights and reflectors, suspension, braking systems including ABS, and coupling components. It also captures tyre tread measurements, remaining brake lining percentages by axle, and operator specific items such as loading bars, straps, running boards, and fridge motor status. The form includes brake testing options, infrared temperature checks, photos for condition evidence, a monitoring section for future attention, and an outstanding defects log to ensure issues are rectified before the trailer is considered roadworthy.
