Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled Preventative Maintenance for Semi-Trailers

Unplanned downtime is one of the biggest costs facing any transport operation. A trailer off the road doesn't just result in a repair—it can disrupt schedules, delay deliveries and reduce fleet utilisation.

Preventative maintenance is the most effective way to reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns. It helps keep trailers compliant, extends asset life and provides a clear service history for every trailer in your fleet.

SX Trailers works with transport operators to develop preventative maintenance programs that suit your operation, compliance requirements and maintenance budget. We identify developing issues before they become costly failures and maintain detailed service records, giving you a clear picture of each trailer's condition over time.

Compliance Servicing for PBS and Combination Vehicles

Performance-Based Standards (PBS), A-Double and B-Double combinations have additional inspection, maintenance and compliance requirements beyond those of standard semi-trailers. Our technicians are experienced with these configurations and carry out servicing, inspections and compliance work to help operators keep their trailers safe, compliant and operating efficiently.

If you're reviewing your current maintenance program or are unsure whether it meets your operational and compliance requirements, we're happy to discuss your fleet and recommend a servicing program that suits your operation.

FAQs

How often should a semi-trailer be serviced?

Service intervals depend on how the trailer is used, the loads it carries, the kilometres travelled and the manufacturer's recommendations. High-utilisation trailers typically require more frequent servicing than trailers operating in lighter duty applications. We can recommend a maintenance interval based on your operation and compliance requirements.

Can you set up a maintenance schedule for our whole fleet?

Yes. We work with operators of all sizes to build and manage maintenance programs across their fleet. We coordinate with your operations team to schedule work around your run requirements and minimise disruption.

Do you provide written condition reports after each service?

Yes. This provides a clear service history for each trailer and helps fleet managers plan maintenance, monitor recurring issues and support compliance records.

What's the difference between scheduled maintenance and a repair?

Repairs address problems after they've occurred. Scheduled maintenance aims to identify and correct issues before they lead to unplanned downtime.

Can you service our trailers out of hours to avoid disrupting our operations?

We're happy to discuss arrangements that suit your operation. If trailers need to come to us at a specific time to minimise disruption to your run schedule, get in touch and we'll work around it.

Can you repair suspension on an A-Double or B-Double configuration?

Yes. We maintain PBS, A-Double and B-Double combinations as part of ongoing scheduled maintenance programs. Our technicians understand the additional servicing and compliance requirements associated with multi-combination vehicles and tailor maintenance schedules to suit each fleet's operation.
