Company Information

Custom Trailers has been established for over 20 years, originally the business was set up to build catering trailers for the trade only, however, the demand for our trailers grew so quickly that the business expanded into direct retailing.

Today, Custom Trailers is known for it’s superior quality, excellent value for money and professional aftersales service.

The Custom Trailers success story has firmly placed the Company as one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of catering and exhibition trailers.

The Company’s main premises is in Harlow in Essex and we have several Agents across the UK who are proud to be associated with the Custom Trailers brand.

For many people, the purchase of a Trailer is likely to be a major investment and one in which your future dreams and plans are based on. We know that you expect your Trailer to last you for many years, to look good, to be practical and functional and to pass rigorous inspections by local authority environmental health departments, health and safety officers, Site Managers and other relevant bodies.

Not only does our management team have the experience of building great trailers, but we are also experienced in the actual running of catering trailers on permanent pitches and at events, therefore, our invaluable insight ensures that the trailer is fit for purpose, built with the customer in mind to operate in the real world and not just from a manufacturing perspective.

We are so confident about the superior quality of our trailers that when you visit us at our site in Harlow, Essex we invite you to have a look around our factory and see the quality of skill and care that goes into each and every build of trailer. You can also view the progress of your ordered trailer at any stage of the build process.

If you need a trailer but just can’t wait for it to be built, then you can purchase one of our new showroom models and immediately take it away with you, or ask us to customise it to your specification.

Over the years we have helped hundreds of new caterers start successful businesses and established caterers grow their businesses further, in fact there are many established caterers who operate large fleets of trailers made by us.

We have also helped many Corporate clients such as N20, Tassimos, Hellmans, Fix UK, Essex Radio, Metropolitan Police and just because these are BIG names it doesn’t mean that we charge BIG prices!

Whatever your circumstances we can help you on the road to success and like a lot of people if you haven’t quite managed to save up to buy your trailer outright, we can even help you to arrange finance and insurance for your purchase.

To demonstrate that we are not just bragging about our achievements we are full supplier members of NCASS - The Nationwide Caterers Association who are the UK’s leading authority on stringent standards within the mobile catering industry. Valid membership means that we continue to meet the high standards expected in our manufacturing processes.

Additionally, all of the catering equipment that we manufacture and sell has been approved by the BSI - British Standards Institute and carries the CE marking.

For those of you who are interested, the letters CE are the abbreviation of the French phrase "Conformité Européene" which literally means "European Conformity” and is designed to protect the user.

Although we specialise in the manufacture of catering and exhibition trailers we also hold large stocks of trailers from camping to builders trailers and car transporters to plant trailers. We also offer a Tow bar fitting service, trailer servicing, trailer repair and trailer hire.

In summary here are 3 reasons why you should buy a trailer built by Custom Trailers:

1) Only the finest materials go into the built of your trailer, this includes a strong steel chassis, the trailer is bonded and bolted for maximum strength, heavy duty walls and floors, anodised aluminium extrusions.

2) Our prices are extremely competitive and we constantly check our prices against our competitors to ensure we stay this way. If you do shop around you will find that if you compare on a like for like basis we offer more than anyone else.

3) How often have you brought an item from a friendly salesperson only to find that when a problem occurred with the product, the after-sales team were less than helpful and friendly? We build your trailer to last, however, if something does goes wrong we are here to put it right in the most professional way we can and we put as much effort into the after-sales as we do for the sale itself.

So whether you have a basic idea of what you want or if you know exactly how you would like your trailer to be built, we can offer you a complete service to get you on the road to success.
