Reversing a trailer is easier said than done. Before you try reversing a trailer there are a few things you should be aware of. If you take the time to understand how to do this safely and you’ll be reversing a trailer like a pro in no time.
Before reversing, make sure you’re aware of your surroundings and any obstacles which may get in your way.
There is always safety in numbers. For best practice, we suggest getting a spotter to help you when reversing with a trailer.
Make sure your mirrors are adjusted so that you can see the rear of the trailer.
Try to set yourself up, so you’re reversing towards the driver’s side of your vehicle.
Place your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel in the 6 O’Clock position. This way, when you turn the wheel, the direction your hand moves will be the same as the trailer's direction of travel.
If the trailer starts to jackknife - which means the trailer might hit the towing vehicle, stop the car immediately. Pull forward and try again. And once you have your angle correct, follow the trailer through with your towing vehicle and continue to reverse with minor adjustments where you need.
Once you have your angle correct, follow the trailer through with your towing vehicle and make minor adjustments where necessary.
So there you have it, with these simple steps and a bit of practice you’ll be reversing like a pro. If you’d like more information, our friendly Hirepool staff will be happy to answer any of your questions. Visit a branch or give us a call 0800 15 15 15.
