The frequency of brake component replacement depends on vehicle usage, load weight and driving conditions. Truck and trailer brakes should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, such as thinning brake pads, scoring on brake discs or reduced braking performance. Air brake systems should be checked for leaks and pressure inconsistencies.

Generally, brake pads and drums may need replacing every 50,000 to 100,000 km, but this varies based on road conditions and load frequency. Preventative maintenance helps avoid sudden failures and ensures compliance with Australian heavy vehicle regulations.

Truck and trailer parts must comply with Australian road safety regulations, including ADR (Australian Design Rules) and NHVR (National Heavy Vehicle Regulator) guidelines.

Components like brakes, tow couplings and suspension systems must meet safety standards to ensure roadworthiness. Using non-compliant or uncertified parts may result in fines, void insurance claims or vehicle registration issues.

Before purchasing, check that the part meets relevant standards and, if necessary, have it installed by a qualified professional.

Yes, performance upgrades can enhance a truck or trailer’s efficiency, safety and handling. Popular upgrades include heavy-duty suspension components, high-performance brake systems, aerodynamic add-ons for fuel efficiency and LED lighting for better visibility. However, all modifications must comply with Australian vehicle regulations and road safety standards.

Some upgrades may require engineering certification, particularly if they alter the vehicle’s load capacity or towing ability. Checking with a licensed professional before making modifications ensures compliance and optimal performance.
