A car transporter that means business! 🏁

Take a look at the Woodford Auto Cruiser, designed to make vehicle transportation practical and straightforward.

With its lightweight chassis, low loading design, secure strapping points and a choice of sizes and configurations, it's a great option for motorsport enthusiasts, classic car owners and professional vehicle transporters.

And with optional tilt-bed configurations, loading lower vehicles can be even easier.

Does your towball look like this? 👀🍫

We were expecting a towball, not a giant Ferrero Rocher!

When a customer arrived to hire one of our trailers, we removed the towball cover and discovered this rather crusty surprise.

The corrosion was so severe that using it could have damaged the trailer's coupling head.

So, with the customer's agreement, we fitted a new towball before they headed off.

A little reminder: Just because you don't tow regularly doesn't mean your towball doesn't need attention.

Keep it clean, protected from the elements and appropriately lubricated for your coupling type.

The tyre was replaced… but that wasn't the real problem. 😳

When this 3,500kg Ifor Williams tipper started jamming a wheel and wearing out its tyre, the owner knew something wasn't right.

But what we discovered inside the brake drum was far worse than expected.

Both brake shoes had detached, the linings had disappeared and loose components had caused extensive damage inside the assembly.

And here's the worrying part: the wheel was still turning when the trailer arrived!

We've put together a case study showing what we found, how we repaired the affected brake and why even trailers used for short journeys need regular attention.

We're making room for more! 🔧

With our range of trailer parts and towing equipment continuing to grow, we decided it was time for a bit of a storage upgrade.

So we've collected this rather impressive load of long-span shelving to help us make better use of the space in our workshop.

More shelving, more storage and more room for the products our customers need.

Now comes the fun part… putting it all together! 😂

Now that's something you don't see in the workshop every day! 🚣

This rather unusual trailer belongs to a local rowing club and is designed to transport boats up to an impressive 14 metres long!

Built back in 1996, it's now 30 years old, but we're pleased to say it's been well looked after and was in good condition overall.

Just a few jobs needed our attention:

🔧 A couple of electrical faults sorted
🔧 Brake shoes replaced
🔧 General servicing and checks completed

And it's ready to get back to transporting boats for the rowing club.

Proof that with the right care and maintenance, a trailer can keep doing its job for decades.

October is Tyre Safety Month 🛞

We're proud to support the NTTA and TyreSafe in reminding everyone just how important tyre checks are, whether they're on your car, van or trailer.

This year's message is simple: ACT before you REACT.

Before you tow, check:

✅ Air pressure
✅ Condition – look for cracks, perishing, bulges or damage
✅ Tread

And don't forget tyre age. We regularly see trailers with plenty of tread remaining but tyres that are many years old and badly perished.

Your trailer tyres are carrying the load too. Give them the same attention you give the tyres on your tow vehicle.

Check them before every journey.

Not something we see in the workshop every day! 👀

This unusual little car transporter has been purpose-built to carry a pre-war Austin Seven, just 12ft long and 4ft 3in wide.

It's a recent purchase for our customer, so it came to us for a service and general check-over before being put to use.

The good news? Everything was in excellent order. We only needed to replace the number plate bulb and added a couple of amber reflectors on each side for extra visibility.

There was one thing worth flagging, though…

The tyres had plenty of tread, but they were 15 years old.

A good reminder that tread depth isn't the only thing that determines whether a trailer tyre is past its best. TyreSafe

Planning a long road trip? This is why you check the trailer BEFORE you go. 😬

This 3,000kg boat trailer was destined for Europe, but there were a few fairly major problems standing in its way.

Seized coupling.
Seized brakes.
Brake backplates rusted away.
And the brake shoes had previously been removed completely.

We've now fitted two new galvanised 1,500kg axles, a new 3,000kg pole coupling, brake cables, compensator and main brake rod.

That's quite a bit of work, but far better to discover it here than hundreds of miles from home.

Now it's ready for its European adventure. 🚤
