When towing a trailer with a tractor, visibility is about more than seeing the road ahead. It's about ensuring other road users can see you, your movements, and precisely how far the vehicle extends backward and sideways. Trailer lighting is a central part of transport safety. The right solution makes a significant difference for both safety and the smooth operation of transporting goods, tools, or bales.
At Sagroparts, you'll find a comprehensive range of trailer lighting tailored for everyday farming. We have position lights for trailers, trailer taillights, LED trailer lighting kits, cables, connectors, and accessories for installation and securing. With robust components, you get bright signals, low energy consumption, and an installation that lasts for many seasons.
How trailer lighting works and why it's important
Trailer lighting is more than just lamps. It's a system that shows where the vehicle ends, its direction, and when you brake. It usually consists of taillights, brake lights, blinkers, position lights for trailers, and plate lighting. Together, they provide a clear signal to other road users. Many customers ask about trailer lighting regulations and what the Transport Agency requires. In short, trailers used on roads must have functioning and approved lighting, helping you avoid dangerous situations.
When the trailer is properly lit, you clearly show the space the vehicle occupies. This is especially important on highways, in curves, and when other traffic needs to pass you. The light from a trailer taillight should be sharp and even, and the position light should be visible even in daylight from a distance. With our LED solutions, you get just that: powerful light for safer transport.
LED solutions for trailers
LED technology has transformed trailer lighting in agriculture. With LED, you get instant illumination without delay, crucial when braking or signaling in traffic. LED lamps withstand vibrations and moisture better than traditional lamps and have a longer lifespan. LED lamps are especially suitable when the electrical system is loaded with other functions on the tractor or trailer.
With us, you'll find complete LED kits including lamps, cables, and connectors making installation easy and secure. LED trailer lighting is also often more energy-efficient, reducing the load on the electrical system.
Connectors, hitch ball, and electrical safety
A good connection between tractor and trailer makes the entire lighting system safer. That's why we offer 7-pin trailer connectors and accessories suitable for both older and newer electrical systems. The right connector ensures stable signal transmission so that lights work properly while driving.
A 50 mm hitch ball is a common standard in agriculture. It fits most trailers and allows you to connect the trailer and tractor quickly and safely. Together with the right cabling, you get a solution that's both easy to use and robust in operation.
Rules and safety
Trailer lighting must function correctly to be allowed on the road. The Transport Agency has requirements on which lights should be present, how they should be positioned, and their operation. This includes clear indicator visibility, unobstructed taillights and brake lights, and positioning lights and reflectors marking the vehicle.
We know it can sometimes be challenging to determine exactly what's needed for your trailer, which is why we're happy to help review what lighting is required and how it should be mounted. Safe and correct lighting reduces worry and ensures safer transports.
Practical applications
In everyday use, trailer lighting is necessary in many situations. Whether transporting bales to the barn early in the morning, moving grain over long distances, or driving equipment between fields and farmyards. Regardless of purpose, the lighting should be reliable and clear for both you and other drivers.
Many farmers also add extra work lights on the trailer to facilitate loading and unloading in the dark. It makes work easier and more efficient, contributing to a safer working environment.
