What is the best way to pack a trailer?
The simple rule to follow is to place 60% of the weight in front of the axle and 40% behind. It doesn’t matter if you’re loading a single-axle, double-axle or triple-axle trailer, the 60/40 rule still applies. An unbalanced trailer can lead to trailer sway and other dangers while driving. Properly distribute the weight: Most of the weight of whatever you’re towing should be on the front end of the trailer, closer to the hitch connection. A good general rule is to keep about 60 percent of the weight (and the heavier items) on that front half, with the rest at the back, toward the trailer door.For moving trucks, U-Haul recommends following posted speed limits (both minimum and maximum) and reducing your speed when driving with a fully loaded truck. You should also slow down on bumpy roads or during severe weather. The maximum recommended speed when towing a U-Haul trailer is 55 MPH.Towing a trailer safely can be overwhelming, especially the first few times. You need to know how much weight and speed your trailer can handle, the proper way to attach and load your trailer, how to drive your tow vehicle with a trailer attached, and more.
Which trailer should be first?
For the safest handling on the road, the more heavily loaded semitrailer should be in first position behind the tractor. The lighter trailer should be in the rear. You want most of the weight to be on the front of your trailer to avoid fishtailing. For this reason, always load your car forwards onto the trailer. Most of a car’s weight is from the engine which is usually in the front of the vehicle.
