Ktwo made marston trailers too (same trailer different colour) Norman ogg bought the rights to marston, tweaked the design then did a deal with ktwo for them to build the trailer in both colours. Really nice guy who helped me with trailer parts for my marston domex only 2 weeks ago
KTwo gone bust?

They used to build Fraser Muckmasters until 2014 as well, we have a 2008 10cu/yd model, nice and strong made. Real shame the company has went down.
I think you`ve answered your own question about how they could go bust...... If no one buys a product it`s not too difficult to see how they go t*ts up... Not sure what point you are making.
Those Stewart trailers aren`t £30k average according to this thread ( and I gather they aren`t a "budget" brand....) so are you SURE that is an average price...?

Trailer market is knackered. The perfect storm - too many manufacturers in a relatively small market that is shrinking due to imported food, highest interest rates for 20 years, materials at record levels, increased labour costs, increased energy costs to produce them and generally farmers having had enough of being shafted from every angle so are doing what the government want them to do which is be a parkland for birds and flowers.
The machinery market in general is in a huge mess. Lots of dealers will be disappearing replaced by nobody and you’ll deal direct with manufacturers or travel miles to your nearest dealer yard.

There's also the factor that, in my view, there's been a big push to upgrade trailers to air brakes etc. over the last decade, probably most people that were going to do that have done so, and good trailers should last a long time. Ergo the market is now mature and slowed down.
Thank you for all the comments regarding KTwo and Warwick Trailers - to summarize sadly the business is indeed in administration. We are doing our best to work out what the next steps are...
If you have a trailer on order your dealer will contact you once our administrators have been in touch.
This forum is probably not the right place to go into exactly what has or hasn't happened and how we have come to find ourselves in this situation.
My mobile number is 07860 174819 should anyone need to contact me with regards to KTwo
Kind regards

Line of them at stewart trailers. I guess they are all sold but must still be some demand.

Looks like it's not just farmers who need a profitable agricultural industry.

I have watched the pair of them at it I can assure you. It was the year that 6 months down the line there was an article on FW about Larringtons new design for his trailer that loaded artic bulkers with maize that were parked on hard surface. I did
Didn’t Larrington bankrupt himself too as Fliegl were suing?

Just shows how the jurno's scour this site for their info ...
