Load the heaviest items first, placing them in the center of the trailer over the axles.

Distribute the weight evenly from side to side to avoid swaying while driving.

Aim for about 60% of the weight in the front half of the trailer, towards the hitch, to ensure proper tongue weight.

Use tie-down straps, bungee cords, or ropes to secure all items in place, especially heavier loads that could shift during transit.

Attach straps to the trailer’s anchor points and double-check that they’re tight.

Ensure nothing is sticking out of the trailer or loosely hanging that could become a road hazard.

We aim to make the return process as simple as possible. Please follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth and hassle free return of your trailer rental;
