Trailer Accessories to Upgrade Your Unit

When it comes to owning a trailer, there are countless trailer accessories and upgrades available that can enhance both the functionality and look of your trailer. Whether you’re looking to increase storage space, improve safety, or simply add some flair to your trailer, Kate’s Trailer Sales has you covered with a wide range of trailer accessories and upgrades that are designed to meet your needs.

Functional Upgrades

Tie-Down Straps

One of the most essential trailer accessories for any owner is tie-down straps. These straps secure cargo to the trailer, ensuring that it stays in place during transit. Kate’s Trailer Sales offers a variety of tie-down straps in different lengths and strengths to accommodate all types of cargo. From heavy-duty ratchet straps to simple cam straps, there is a tie-down solution for every type of load.

Toolboxes

Another popular accessory for trailers is a toolbox. Toolboxes are a great way to keep tools and other equipment organized and easily accessible while on the road. There are toolboxes in different sizes and materials to suit your needs. Some trailers include built-in toolboxes, but they’re an add-on for most. From aluminum boxes that are lightweight and corrosion-resistant to steel boxes that offer extra durability, there is a toolbox for every trailer owner.

Lighting

In addition to tie-down straps and toolboxes, Kate’s Trailer Sales offers a range of lighting options to improve visibility and safety on the road. From LED taillights and clearance lights to backup lights and interior lighting, numerous lighting solutions are available for your trailer. Upgrading your trailer’s lighting is a popular option at our trailer accessories store because it can improve safety and give the trailer a more modern look.

Winches

One accessory that can significantly enhance the functionality of your trailer is a winch. A winch is a device that is used to pull heavy objects onto the trailer, making loading and unloading much easier. Kate’s Trailer Sales offers a range of winches with different weight capacities, so you can choose one that is appropriate for your trailer’s load capacity. There are also different types of winches available, such as manual winches and electric winches, so you can choose the option that works best for you.

Seal Kits

Seal kits are an essential part of any trailer maintenance kit. They contain seals and bearings that are necessary to keep a trailer’s wheels and axles functioning properly. Kate’s Trailer Sales offers a variety of seal kits to fit different trailer types and sizes, ensuring that your trailer stays in top condition. We can also assist in your ongoing trailer repairs and maintenance.

Drums and Brakes

Drums and brakes are crucial components of your trailer’s braking system, and essential to overall trailer safety. Over time, these parts can wear out, leading to reduced braking performance and even brake failure. Kate’s Trailer Sales carries replacement drums and brakes for different trailer types and sizes, so you can ensure that your trailer is always stopping safely and effectively. Our team can perform the installation of these trailer parts as well.

Wheels and Tires

Tires and wheels are another important part of your trailer’s overall performance and safety. At Kate’s Trailer Sales, you can find a variety of tire sizes and types, including bias and radial tires. Additionally, there are different wheel options available, such as steel and aluminum wheels, to meet your needs.

D-rings and E-tracks

E-tracks and D-rings are essential trailer accessories for securing cargo. An E-track is a type of track system that is mounted to the trailer’s walls and floor, allowing you to attach straps and other tie-downs to hold your cargo in place. D-rings are heavy-duty metal rings that can be bolted or welded onto the trailer’s surface, providing a secure anchor point for straps and other tie-downs.

Wiring

Wiring is another crucial component of your trailer’s functionality. Proper wiring is essential for your trailer’s lighting, brakes, and other electrical systems to function correctly. At Kate’s Trailer Sales, you can find wiring products, including connectors, harnesses, and adapters, to ensure that your trailer’s electrical system is working correctly.

Ramp Add-Ons

Another way to improve the functionality of your trailer is by adding a ramp. Ramps make loading and unloading heavy or bulky items much easier, especially if you have a low clearance trailer. Some trailers come with built-in ramps, or you can purchase ramps in different sizes and materials. From lightweight aluminum ramps to heavy-duty steel ramps, there are many options to choose from.

Aesthetic Upgrades

Graphics and Decals

If you’re looking to add some style to your trailer, there are also several aesthetic upgrades available. Trailer graphics and decals can be added to give your trailer a unique and personalized look. Decals are extremely popular when it comes to trailers for businesses. They can help people find out about, recognize, and learn how to contact your business when you include logos and contact information decals on your trailer.

Trailer Skins

Finally, exterior aluminum skins are a great way to improve the look and durability of your trailer. These skins are designed to fit over the trailer’s exterior, providing a sleek and modern look while also protecting the trailer from damage and wear. Kate’s Trailer Sales offers a range of aluminum skins in different colors and finishes, so you can choose the one that best fits your look.
