Trailer Designs

Alexander Trailers boasts a varied list of clients, most of whom have one thing in common: a load-carrying requirement that simply can’t be met by ‘off the shelf’ trailer designs. With more than 40 years’ experience in trailer design, we can create a top-quality trailer for any load-carrying problem, whatever the shape, capacity or size.

Because every client has different requirements, we conduct a thorough site survey to identify these needs and an intensive design process to arrive at the best possible solution. Our trailers are built from a standard design platform with many options to suit all specifications and applications.

Detailed design drawings are produced to facilitiate the manufacturing process, with major components as detailed in the image and table below.
