Why choose a Custom Trailer?

1

Designed around your Equipment 

We start with the real-world equipment you want to mount – mud pump, compressor, generator, tank or test unit – and design the trailer to carry it safely, efficiently and within legal limits.

2

 Legal and Safe on the Road

 Axle loads, lighting, braking systems and coupling arrangements are planned with compliance in mind, helping you avoid problems at roadblocks and ensuring safer long-distance towing.

3

 Rugged and Maintainable

 We use proven suspension systems, robust chassis designs and practical routing of pipes and cables so that the trailer can handle rough access roads and still be straightforward to maintain in the field.

Our Custom Rig Design Process.

1

Requirements

We gather your equipment details, load needs and towing setup to define the right trailer configuration.

2

Concept Layout

We prepare a clear layout showing equipment placement, dimensions and mounting points for approval.

3

Engineering

We finalise chassis design, axles, brakes and mounting frames with drawings ready for fabrication.

4

Manufacturing

We build the chassis, install running gear and mount your equipment with checks at each stage.

5

Test & Deliver

We inspect the trailer, confirm towing behaviour and brief your team on safe daily operation.
