Trailer Loading Checklist
Load the car right before
the trip starts
This checklist is built for loading the 996 safely before a road trip — checking the trailer, setting ramps and boards, protecting the front lip, securing the car, and rechecking everything before the highway.
5 loading checks.
Hitch, ramps, loading, straps, and recheck
What this doc covers
-
Hitch, lights & chains
Confirm the trailer is connected correctly, lights work, chains are crossed, and the setup is safe before loading.
-
Ramps & loading boards
Set the ramps and boards before moving the car so the approach angle is controlled and the front lip stays protected.
-
Slow loading with a spotter
Load the car slowly, keep the wheels centered, and use a spotter to watch clearance, ramps, and trailer alignment.
-
Wheel placement & tie-downs
Center the car, confirm weight position, secure all wheels, and check that straps are routed cleanly with no rubbing.
-
Final recheck before towing
Pull forward, stop, recheck straps, trailer lights, chains, ramps, boards, and anything that may have shifted.
