Free Trailer Safety Checks Today 9-12

Hope this is ok to put on the main page Adam.

The Road Safety Committees/Working Groups from Cities of Stirling and Swan with the help of Towsafe who are donating their time are offering a service today from 9-12 where people can have their boat trailer, box trailer or caravan checked for any safety concerns in the leadup to the coming long weekends. If you've done your own hubs or have any nagging doubts before heading away you can get it checked over with advice from Roland and his lads.

 
The service is free and it works on a first come first serve basis so there may be a wait if there's a queue and there will be a few spot prizes including 3x $50 vouchers for Towsafe.
 
The location will be the northern section of the carpark at Bunnings Balcatta and is best accessed from Erindale Road heading south from Reid Hwy.
 
Did I mention it's free?

 Tow truck driver pointed out

 Tow truck driver pointed out a couple of things about my trailer that wouldnt be legal now.  Says the police are about to crack down on trailer compliance to vehicle standards.  Things like rated shackles and mounting of chain attachment points.

We take trailers for licensing all the time and rated shackles arent a requirement atm. If your trailers licensed and made before these changes took place like rated chain your legal.
