Cincinnati's Smith Trailers and Equipment is the largest trailer superstore in the tri-state area. If you are in need of trailer equipment, trailer rentals, or any sort of trailer repair, the one and only name you should be considering is Smith Trailers and Equipment.

Having been in the trailer business since 1992, the professionals at Smith Trailers and Equipment know a thing or two about safe towing. Here are some important, easy-to-remember driving tips to ensure the highest level of safety during your next towing experience:

  • Make a point of emphasizing proper weight distribution. Be sure your tow's contents are equally weighed on both sides, so as to not throw off the balance of the vehicle during turns. Additionally, when packing up, it is advised you pack the heavier items first.
  • Take reverses slow and steady. When it comes to driving with a tow, most would recommend avoiding reversing if possible. Of course, that reality isn't always possible. When you do need to put the vehicle in reverse, make sure to take it slowly as the trailer is likely to move a little different than expected.
  • Have the right hitch ball. This may seem like a no-brainer, but having the wrong size hitch ball is a very common problem. Your hitch should ensure the trailer is level to your vehicle, and the latch should engage smoothly and easily.

It doesn't matter if it's a tandem axle utility, an equipment trailer, or a car hauler—such small details can make a significant difference in the level of safety for you, your vehicle, and your tow. That's why so many drivers are putting their trust in family owned and operated business Smith Trailers and Equipment.
