Curtainsider trailers are the staple trailer for the road haulage industry. They offer quick and easy side loading options, as well as loading through the back doors. Our fleet consists of straight-frame curtainsiders, tri-axle and tandem axle options.
Box trailers are mainly used for transporting goods in the shipping and supermarket industries. High-value or perishable items need to be moved on pallets or in roll cages. These are easily added to a Box trailer, which allows your business to run smoothly and hassle-free.
Fridge trailers are used for the movement of products at controlled temperatures. Chilled goods like medicine and frozen food need a steady climate to keep their form. Cold room trailer hire is both attractive and cost-efficient. We have single and multi-temperature options available on our fleet.
Skellies are used for the sole purpose of moving shipping containers. Standard spec trailers can move containers ranging from 20 to 45 ft. We have a wide variety of fixed and sliding available for hire.
Double Deck trailers are designed to offer twice the carrying capacity of a standard single deck. Mainly used for the distribution of light goods, this trailer can half your number of loads and trips. Double Decker trailers are available in both curtainsider and box van options. Both of these options are also available as single deckers.
Described as the ‘workhorse trailer’, Flatbed trailers are widely used and highly versatile. Flatbeds are used to transport products which don’t need protection from the elements, such as timber, steel and cement.
This trailer is designed for urban areas where space is limited and a small size is ideal. A standard Urban trailer has an overall length of 10m. They are also known as Short trailers. Available in the format of curtainsider, box van and fridge body types.
PSK trailers are a hybrid between the standard Flatbed and the Skeletal. This allows for more flexibility, with the added benefit of twist locks fitted to carry containers. This multi-purpose tri-axle platform trailer has all the benefits of a flat platform.
