🚨 🚨 STOLEN PLEASE SHARE 🚨🚨

LOOK OUT FOR THIS TRAILER STOLEN IN THE STOKE ON TRENT AREA DURING THE NIGHT

obviously it could be on the move but could also have been dumped locally to see if any tracking devices - highly unlikely thou

Trailer has new wheels, new hitch, new running gear so it's very obvious its well maintained if offered 2nd hand - ramps are also stored on the bed as not the correct ramps for the trailer

Al-ko Brake shoe and drum max wear limits for trailer brakes.
Over the years we have realized the importance of auto reverse brakes needing the correct tolerances to work correctly.
Attached is the document that Al-ko produced for the minimum shoe lining thickness and maximum internal drum diameter for their brakes to work correctly.
This is not just for Al-ko axles but any axle using a Al-ko brake including Indespension and the trailers used with these axles / brakes such as Brian James Trailers and many more.
These tolerances need to be checked on every trailer service as when the brakes pass the wear limits the brakes will not work efficiently,
Auto reverse may not operate correctly,
New shoes will wear unevenly if fitted into an oversize drum taking the middle of the linings out,
heat can build up causing problems to other pars of the brake and bearing,
drums can oval
and many more problems can be caused.
Check these measurements every time you take a drum off a trailer.
