MZSA trailer reviews from owners

What are the options?

The main requirements for modern popular models are reliability and safety. A wide variety of loads have to be transported, and therefore the following types of structures are used:

• with drive and brakes;
• with a low frame;
• four-wheelers;
• two-wheeled;
• with extended track.

Before making your final choice, it is worth considering a lot of nuances. As a rule, all manufacturers produce two types of products:

1. Flatbed trailers, the main task of which is to transport furniture, agricultural products, building materials, small self-propelled equipment, and so on.
2. Boat Thanks to them, it is possible to transport watercraft (yachts, small boats, etc.) over long distances.

The basic equipment of different products is the same:

Additional options

Popular models can be equipped with additional functionality. It all depends on the wishes and financial condition of the buyer. They are often asked to supplement the design for a passenger car with the following options:

1. Awning with arches.
2. Drawbar extension.
3. Trolley wheel.
4. Bracket for spare wheel.
5. Winch.
6. With a load tipping function (with a tipper system) designed for transporting bulk products.

Types of car accessories

In most cases, companies produce universal options. They are widely used by summer residents for transporting crops, for small businesses, and by construction crews. Where can I buy such a product? In any specialized store. It is better to choose biaxial options. Universal devices are:

• with a special awning, which makes it possible to transport cargo in an enclosed space;
• standard with metal sides;
• extended (provide the ability to transport long loads);
• special biaxial platforms.

Which one is better to buy depends on the scope of further use of the acquisition. Currently the choice is huge. The best models are sold at a significant price, but they are distinguished by excellent characteristics and high-quality materials. As a rule, they top the rating of branded products with increased reliability and durability.

In addition to universal ones, manufacturers also produce specialized designs that are used to transport specific cargo. They are distinguished by the ability to maximally secure the transport object on the platform and deliver it safe and sound to its destination. Such products are suitable for almost any car and are intended for transportation:

• small items (there is a plastic dome);
• mopeds, boats and boats;
• motorcycles and cars.

Prices for trailers for cars

1. The budget class offers a price tag of up to 30 thousand rubles. These are products from China, Ukraine, and regional manufacturers.
2. An average cost of 30 to 50 often becomes the best choice. Although the technical part is up to the elite level. For 40 thousand rubles you can choose a unit with a reliable suspension, an optical unit, galvanized sides, and a moisture-resistant plywood bottom.
3. Expensive samples from 50 thousand rubles belong to top brands. Their materials are of higher quality. The galvanized frame belongs to the models in this segment. Buying a used passenger trailer is also possible. But with a starting price of 60 thousand rubles, and this is a brand, it will remain that way.

Operating rules

Current legislation provides for the possibility of using a trailer if you have a license with an open category “B”. In this case, the weight of the loaded platform should not exceed 750 kg. If the weight of the car and trailer exceeds 3500 kg, then it is necessary to open an additional category “E” by attending special courses for one and a half to two months.

The use of the platform requires the presence of additional equipment for the car in the form of a tow bar and the wiring of the trailer to illuminate the dimensions, turns, brake lights, and so on.

How to ride with a platform correctly

It is worth keeping in mind that an additional load fitted at the rear will not make it possible to quickly accelerate the car and quickly stop it. This must be taken into account when overtaking and sudden braking. Risks must be completely eliminated. To do this, it is advisable to follow the recommendations of experts:

1. Brake smoothly, regardless of how much the trailer is loaded.
2. Keep your distance.
3. Reduce speed early.
4. Avoid jerking.
5. Do not cause the platform to skid and swing from side to side.
6. Maintain maximum speed.
7. Try not to change lanes in traffic often.

Certain difficulties include:

1. Maneuvering in large populated areas.
2. Parking within the city.
3. Reversing.

Download Rules

It is imperative that the load be placed evenly. The center of gravity should be located above the axle (in single-axle models) or between the axles (in two-axle products). The transported load must not be allowed to move forward or backward. Moreover, the center of gravity should be as low as possible. This will prevent the possibility of lateral and longitudinal rocking, which will negatively affect the vehicle's handling.

The transported cargo must not exceed the length of the rear body by more than 2 meters and the width by 2.55 meters. The maximum permissible height is 4 meters, measured from the roadway. Large cargo must be marked with special identification marks. At night or when visibility is poor, the side lights should be on.

Restrictions

Whatever brand the product is, transportation in it is strictly prohibited:

• of people;
• flammable substances;
• explosive objects;
• cargo that obscures the view with its dimensions;
• objects that produce strong noise, polluting the road and the environment.

The influence of the platform on the technical characteristics of the machine

The presence of a trailer always involves additional stress on the car, namely on the engine and transmission, leading to premature wear. It is worth noting that a lot depends on the class of the car. If you attach a light trailer to a powerful SUV, then this will have virtually no effect on its condition. And if the Zhiguli is equipped with an impressive additional load, then it may not withstand such tests.

It is necessary to understand that fuel consumption automatically increases by an average of 10 percent. This indicator is influenced by the condition of the roads and travel conditions.

According to buyers, it is necessary to take care of summer and winter tires for the platform, although this is not necessary in Russia, but it is desirable for safety. Russian-made products are produced on all-season tires.

The structure must be registered with the traffic police at the owner’s place of residence within 5 days from the date of purchase. If you purchase a product through retail stores or during customs clearance, you receive a vehicle passport for it, which indicates the model and make, identification number, body and frame number, and weight. A signed purchase and sale agreement is considered the basis for recognizing the buyer’s ownership of the trailer. After registration, the new owner receives a license plate and registration certificate.

Passing a technical inspection is mandatory. The frequency varies depending on the year the platform was released. The law requires you to insure your trailer by obtaining MTPL or CASCO insurance (optional).

Basic operating rules

To extend the service life of the trailer, you need to constantly monitor the quality of operation of its functional components. Particular attention should be paid to:

• wheel bearings and springs;
• brake system;
• electrical wiring;
• attachment points;
• integrity of the material on the platform itself and on the sides.

How to choose the best option

Each buyer has his own criteria for choosing a product: some pay attention to the brand, others to the average price, and others to customer reviews. What should you pay special attention to in order to avoid mistakes when choosing? Professional advice boils down to the following:

• quality of paintwork;
• metal thickness;
• thickness of welded joints;
• quality of components used.

Models included in the TOP reliable ones are made of high-quality material. Expensive caravans have galvanized frames. Their average cost reaches 60,000 rubles. If the trailer is not intended for commercial transportation, then it is better to opt for products in the mid-price segment. The range of such products is significant. If we take into account the technical characteristics, they are not much different from expensive analogues.

Features of trailers for passenger cars costing from 35,000 to 40,000 rubles are as follows:

• fastening with bolts;
• galvanized sides;
• electrical wiring is solid;
• Moisture-resistant plywood is used in the manufacture of the bottom;
• there is protection for lighting equipment;
• The suspension is reliable.

Which company is better to buy depends on a person’s preferences. It is best to visit a specialized point and review the products on offer, chat with a sales manager, get qualified help when choosing, and find out what it costs. You can order your favorite model online in the online store. But there is a possibility of encountering difficulties during delivery, since the weight of the goods and its dimensions are quite significant.

Recommendations for selection

When choosing trailers for passenger cars, everyone is guided by the specific needs and requirements for the purchased equipment. A caravan does not fall into the category of extremely expensive solutions, but some models have really high price tags.

Depending on the task facing the trailer, a wide range of offers can be found on the Russian market. This is not the most popular product, although recently the demand has increased somewhat, and more modern and original solutions have appeared. Domestic enterprises that produce trailers for passenger cars do not lag behind in this component. They were included in the current ranking for 2020.

But before we talk about manufacturers and specific models in demand, we should make some clarifications regarding the correct approach to selection.

• Price. The starting point for purchasing a passenger trailer is usually the budget that the buyer is counting on. This will largely allow you to choose the right trailer specifically for your car. The price affects the quality of the product, its configuration and size. The simplest models can be purchased for literally 30-40 thousand rubles. Specialized trailers will cost at least 50 thousand. But also solid, two-axle trailers with a price tag of more than 200-300 thousand rubles are offered for sale.
• Capabilities of a passenger car. You should not rely only on the current rating from 2020 when choosing trailers for passenger cars. Be sure to consider the capabilities of your own machine. If diesel internal combustion engines are good at pulling any load, then small gasoline engines may not be able to cope with a similar task, lifting a fully loaded trailer uphill.
• Towbar or towing device. This element serves to connect the trailer to the machine. Towbars come in ball and square versions. The ball is much more popular and widespread than the American standard. Plus, don’t forget about the connection between the towbar socket and the trailer plug. They may not match, which will require additional manipulations, installation of adapters, etc. This point should be checked directly when choosing.

These are really important nuances that can play a role in the right purchase. Having mastered the basic recommendations, you can move directly to the question of which trailer is preferable and best to choose for your car.
