TRAILERS FOR SHORT, MEDIUM & LONG TERM HIRE

Trailers for Hire

We’ve been renting specialist trailers since the 1970s and our large, modern fleet is always up-to-date. This enables customers to have access to new trailers, with the very latest steering and extending technology, but without the capital outlay. Examples being multiple steering axles, hydraulic double flip ramps, beaver tails, wafer decks, override steering, detachable necks and/or SL technology.

All of the step frame, low loader and extendable trailers on our rental fleet are made by Broshuis, Dennison and SDC. Our flat / platforms are mainly manufactured by Montracon, SDC & Dennison. Out of the total fleet of over 1000 HGV trailers, we have over a hundred low-loader trailers available to hire. The same trailer is often available to buy – should the hauler, transport company or owner-driver decide it would be more cost effective to own it.

Decking from £40 per stack is also available if required.

Curtainsider

Curtainsider trailers offer maximum loading flexibility from side and rear, with pillar or pillarless bodies, heights from 3.8m to 4.976m, multiple deck configurations, and a range of roof options, fully tailored to your specifications.

Flat Bed

The flatbed trailer, known as the industry workhorse, is built for heavy-duty haulage of steel, concrete, and timber. High tensile steel construction keeps weight low while maximising strength and durability.

Step Trailer

The step frame platform's lowered bed height allows taller loads to be transported within height restrictions, while the reduced centre of gravity improves stability. Ideal for European operations.

Urban Flat

The urban platform trailer is compact and highly manoeuvrable, with forward and reverse steering for tight spaces like building yards and housing estates. Its tight-line tracking makes it equally suited to rural and inner city work.

Step Extender

The step extender low loader is lightweight yet built for heavy plant, machinery and equipment. Its multi-functional platform works as a standard flat or extends to carry longer loads.

Step Extender Hyd-Str

The hydraulically steered semi low loader follows the truck precisely in both forward and reverse, with a hydraulic system that links trailer steering directly to the vehicle.

Extender

The urban extender bridges platform and urban trailers, functioning as both a standard flat and short urban trailer for maximum operator flexibility.

Extender Hyd-Str

Broshuis flat trailers 3 to 5 axles and all hydraulic suspension. These trailers are the strongest of their kind. We also have lightweight flats with or without steering.

Plant With Ramp

The plant with ramp trailer features a lowered main deck, making it ideal for loading and transporting a wide range of heavy equipment including excavators, forklifts, crushers, and military vehicles.

Low Loader

A low loader's deck sits below the rear wheel height, with two steps from fifth wheel to rear. Our fleet includes detachable neck and 2/3 axle extending low loaders (7.5-13m) by Broshuis. Three axle models offer a 420mm deck height with 50-tonne payload; two axle at 300mm with 2.2-tonne capacity.
