Common Causes of Truck Breakdown

 

No matter where you are, being a truck breakdown repairer is a big deal. Whether you're delivering to the Autobahn or getting caught in Vancouver, it's not easy. 

Four Components That Cause Truck Failure Problems 

Road failures are not always evaluated, but triggering these failures usually helps to set up a maintenance schedule that reduces dangerous exposure. Be safe on the road by knowing which four components commonly cause truck malfunctions. 

Tires 

Tires are generally considered to be the most important element of a vehicle, as the truck is the only element that comes into contact with the road. However, it can still be the most dangerous if not properly cared for. As mentioned above, the main cause of tire truck problems is more than 50% of all roadside failures. Most tires break down:

• Under inflation 

• Low walking depth 

• Incorrectly spindle

Brakes 

A think about conducted appears that 29% of half-truck mischances happen from break-related issues. Since a semi-circle and drum brakes are continually uncovered to warm, weigh, and grind, they wear without appropriate support. If you're encountering brake issues, at that point they may be due to:

• Air leakage

• External erosion and wear

• Internal water contamination causes air line freezing in the winter months

Electrical system 

The electrical system is another component that leads to truck failures. This system mainly consists of a starter, an alternator, and a battery. If any of these important parts are not working, the vehicle will not be able to function. Signs of a failed electrical system include battery connections. Dead battery; faint or dim light; strong offensive odor; click sound while starting the engine. 

Refrigerated trailer 

Refrigerated trailers, also known as referee units, are important for transporting temperature-controlled goods. If the refrigerated container breaks down, it needs to be repaired to prevent the loss of cargo. For this reason, it is important to monitor the trailer in transit and hear signals in the cab that the unit is not functioning properly.
