STRUCTURAL 10 YEAR WARRANTY

1. The warranty period starts from the date of purchase and warrants that the structure will not crack or bend but will remain fit for its purpose, provided that the trailer has not been overloaded or accidentally damaged and has been registered with us within 30 days of purchase.

 

2. The warranty is for manufacturer’s defects of the main framed square hollow sections (SHS) and/or rectangular hollow section (RHS) and its cross members.

 

3. The warranty covers replacement of any defective part and the cost of fitting the part but does not include the labour and material costs associated with all other service within the warranty period, or any freight charge for “return to base” support.

5. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear.

 

6. The warranty does not cover rust or subsequent failure due to rust.

 

7. The Traders obligations under this warranty shall be limited to repairing or replacing (at the Traders sole discretion) any defective part. The Trader reserves the right to improve or modify any trailer without assuming any obligation to modify any trailer previously manufactured.

In no event shall Aakron Xpress Trailers be liable for any loss, inconvenience or damage, whether direct, incidental, consequential, or otherwise resulting from breach of any express or implied warranty or condition, of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise with respect to our products except as set forth herein. This limited warranty gives the consumer specific legal rights, and those rights and other rights may vary from place to place. This limited warranty does not affect your statutory rights.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

To maximize the lifespan of your investment, it is recommended to follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • To prevent rust, rinse the trailer’s frame and components with fresh water after each use and store it in a way that minimizes exposure to salt spray whenever possible.

  • Grease bearing buddies for tapered bearings regularly, at least at the start of each season, with yearly inspections advised for all bearings.

  • During storage, jack the wheels off the ground and rotate them regularly to keep bearings lubricated.

  • Regularly lubricate winch couplings and any other moving parts.

  • For trailers fitted with brakes, ensure they are serviced regularly, avoid parking with the brakes engaged, wash the calipers, springs, and hubs, and use the trailer regularly.
