TRAILERS and BRAKES

Florida law requires brakes on any new trailer with a gross weight rating (GVWR) over 3,000 pounds. When buying a new trailer, make sure the manufacturer’s ID sticker clearly identifies a GVWR. Then make sure the trailer is equipped with the correct braking equipment.

Single axles trailers are usually rated up to 2,990 pounds and do not require brakes.

Dual-axle trailers with no brakes cannot be rated over 3,000 pounds, regardless of it’s designed capacity. Depending on the weight of the trailer, this may leave very little actual load-carrying capacity.

Dual-axle trailers with brakes on one axle can have an increased GVWR but will be less than if both axles were equipped with brakes.

To legally haul the maximum design load of any dual axle trailer, it must be equipped with brakes on both axles.

All boat trailers with more than one axle are required to have brakes on all axles.

Depending on the age of your current trailer, you may be grandfathered in with lower brake equipment requirements.

It is the responsibility of the trailer owner/operator to maintain trailer brakes in functioning condition.
