What Are the Most Common Types of Trailer Springs?

Before you place your order, it is essential to understand the various types of trailer springs available and what each type is best for.

Common types of trailer springs include:

  • Ramp Springs: Ramp springs are a basic necessity for trailers equipped with loading ramps. These springs assist in raising and lowering the ramps with ease, allowing for safe and efficient loading and unloading of cargo. Good quality ramp springs help in reducing physical strain and improve safety during the loading process.
  • Hinge Springs: As the name suggests, hinge springs are usually found on the doors and gates of trailers. They are essential for hinges and assist in opening and closing these access points smoothly. This makes it easier to load and unload cargo from the trailer and just operate it in general. Good quality hinge springs like the ones manufactured by Wermke Spring can help boost efficiency and reduce the risk of damage to cargo or trailer components.
  • Landing Gear Springs: Landing gear springs are the type of trailer springs designed to support the front end of trailers when they are detached from the towing vehicle. They make raising and lowering the landing gear easier when the trailer is not in motion. Landing gear springs basically help in improving maneuverability during the loading and unloading process and reducing the risk of accidents.
  • Shocks or Shock Absorbers: While shock absorbers are not essentially trailer springs, they are necessary to reduce vibrations. They absorb shocks from bad surfaces and uneven roads and ensure smooth and enhanced ride comfort. Shock absorbers are also helpful in reducing wear and tear on trailer components and cargo.
