In the state of PA (Pennsylvania) any trailer with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) over 3000 Lbs. needs to be inspected annually. The state of Pennsylvania has a mandatory state vehicle inspection program. You must have your vehicle inspected yearly for safety.
The safety inspection is to keep you and the other drivers on the road safe.
Kindly be aware that, when looking at state documentation it can be confusing because, all the trailers we offer for sale are categorized as utility trailers. The term “utility trailers” encompasses a wide range of trailers, including dump trailers, equipment trailers, gooseneck trailers, tilt trailers, and more.
Safety inspections for recreational, semi- and utility trailers require that the following items be checked:
Before you arrive for your trailer inspection, ensure you bring your original and up-to-date registration or ownership card. Additionally, your trailer must have a clearly legible VIN plate or sticker. Please note that if either of these items is missing upon your arrival, we will be unable to perform the inspection.

I came a very long distance and worked with Shane over a three week period, and I must say from day one through the day I picked up my unit, the service was outstanding. Not only do they sell superior products, but the customer service is top-notch. Thank you, Brechbill Trailer Sales!

Purchased a new Eby dump trailer. Great experience during both a phone order/ purchase, and on my pick up / delivery day. No hidden fee’s or surprises. I would recommend them as everyone I encountered was very positive and helpful.

We brought our B wise dump trailer to Jud for things that needed fix and he did an awesome job. Also we had a local Chevy dealer install a brake controller on our 2023 Tahoe, after the 3rd controller, we had Jud look at it. Jud found that the Chevy dealership installed them wrong and it was burning the brake controller module up. Jud took the time to replace it and install a new one for us, he is very professional and explained everything to us. 10 out of 10, we will be back to Brechbill for anything trailer related. Jud definitely earned our trust..

We were approved in 5 mins with Ryan’s help and Steven was amazing with helping us hook up and explain everything in detail. Highly recommend. Friendly and knowledgeable staff with rapid results! You guys rock!!!

In Pennsylvania, it’s important to remember that your trailer needs to pass an inspection before the registration sticker expires. You have the advantage of getting this inspection done up to three months in advance. We recommend scheduling your inspection early, as this allows enough time for any necessary repairs or part orders. This proactive approach not only keeps you compliant with state laws but also ensures your trailer remains roadworthy without any last-minute rush.
