Why strip-down matters
Problems can be hidden behind the brake drum.
A trailer can still roll into the workshop while springs, shoes, adjusters, cables or backplates are badly corroded. Where appropriate, removing the drums lets us inspect the components that actually stop the trailer.
- Brake shoes, springs, expanders and adjusters
- Drum, hub and bearing condition
- Brake cables and overrun operation
- Tyres, wheels, suspension and visible axle hardware
- Road lights, plugs and trailer-side wiring

Inside the CSTSC workshop
The project images below are genuine CSTSC/JRGMTS workshop photographs. They show the sort of corrosion, wear and repair work that generic stock photography cannot.

Severe Corrosion Found During Trailer Brake Inspection

View workshop example →Tyres are more than tread
Ageing trailer tyres can look better than they are.
Trailers often cover low mileage and spend long periods standing. That makes cracking, sidewall condition and structural deterioration just as important as tread.
Trailer electrics
Lighting fault? We can work out whether it is the trailer or the tow vehicle.
Road-light problems can come from plugs, cable, corroded joints, earth paths, lamps or the towing vehicle. CSTSC is operated by JRGM Technical Services LLP, so trailer electrical faults can be approached with wider vehicle-electrical knowledge.
