Trailer designs and manufacturing of custom made trailers to answer every type of load-carrying problem.

We boast a varied list of clients, most of whom have one thing in common – a requirement for a trailer design that simply can’t be ‘bought of the shelf’. (We do, of course, produce ‘standard’ trailers too!)

No matter what your load carrying problems are, here at Alexander Trailer Designs, we can work with you to solve them!. Whatever the shape, capacity or size you need we can design and manufacture you a top quality trailer to allow you totransport your loads safely and securely.

Each company’s requirements are different, our site survey will identify these needs and through our design and manufacturing process a solution can be provided, which ultimately will improve the working efficiency of any process.

Our trailer specifications are build from a standard design platform with many options to suit all application.

All design is driven by the client specification. Detailed design drawings are produced to facilitiate the manufacturing process, main components parts are as shown with many options available as detailed in the list below.
