Where to Buy a Trailer?

Prepare the original copies of your ID card, household register, and driver's license. Purchase at a specialty store or 4S shop. Choosing the right vehicle is the most important step in the buying process. After selecting the vehicle, make the payment and take delivery. After taking delivery, ensure that the salesperson at the 4S shop applies for a temporary vehicle movement permit at the vehicle management office. At the vehicle management office, purchase the purchase tax and vehicle and vessel tax, select a license plate, register the vehicle, and receive the chosen license plate on the same day.

I recently helped a friend's camping convoy outfit a trailer, and it really took visiting several places. The most straightforward option is to visit an RV modification shop—they usually have ready-made trailer hitches, ranging from lightweight luggage trailers to large RV trailers. Last time, I found one at an auto parts market in the suburbs. Remember to bring your vehicle’s manual to confirm the maximum towing capacity. Additionally, camping enthusiast communities often have secondhand trailers for sale, but you need to carefully check for rust on the frame. Large hardware stores also sell luggage trailers with small wheels, which are suitable for small-item transport. They’re affordable, but you’ll need to modify the connection mechanism yourself. Before buying, it’s best to measure the trailer hitch interface dimensions to avoid compatibility issues.

Our factory always goes straight to the construction machinery market when purchasing transport trailers, where agricultural equipment stores offer the most practical options. We directly order from manufacturers specializing in flatbed trailers to save on middleman markups. From my personal experience, on-site inspection is crucial—tapping the frame to check for a dull, solid sound indicates thick steel plates. Last time I ordered a 5-ton capacity trailer with a factory price of just over 8,000 yuan, 20% cheaper than online stores. Always check if the tires are solid for heavy-load durability. A key tip many beginners overlook: run new trailers empty for 200km to properly break in the bearings.

Buying a trailer is so convenient now. Last month, I searched for 'car trailer' on Taobao, and hundreds of options popped up. I filtered for local sellers and found an aluminum alloy folding luggage trailer that caught my eye. It arrived the next day after placing the order. The key is to check if the product page is labeled as 'compliant with national standards,' and those with EU certification icons are even better. A reminder to everyone: make sure to confirm the type of hitch, with the ball hitch being the most common. If buying second-hand, you can check out Xianyu, but always ask the seller to send a video of the chassis. I scored a second-hand trailer for just 300 yuan, and after spending 50 yuan to replace the wheels, it was as good as new.
