New midi low loader.

[tepapa]

I'm looking for a new high speed midi low loader.
My preferred and second choice manufacturers can even be bothered to get back to me. Im guessing the first is too busy building trailers for farmers after getting bounce back loans but I can't even get a reply to know where i stand.

So looking on line and FB there are plenty of other manufacturers but how can I weed out the good from the bad? Who do you recommend I try that will produce a quality trailer.

I want a trailer that still looks good in 10yrs time not a rusted chassis and shabby looking.

I’ve got a herbst, 12 months old, with paint peeling off underneath, really disappointed with it, and waiting for the dealers to come back to me with what they’ll do about it!
I like the look of the M4 hydraulic beaver low loader, can’t comment on quality.
Seen a Bailey recently and it’s in a different league to herbst!

They don't seem to have any info on the internet about all I can find is a phone number from 2015, does that sound about right?

Larrington Trailers as supposed to be good, liked the Philip Watkins hydraulic beaver tail but never heard back from them.
Stewart are over rated In my opinion, but that’s based on 2 trailers that in know.

I’m expecting a certain person to chime in telling to you buy one made in Ireland, which despite the poor finishing and the paint peeling off after a week, has more metal in it so the rough appearance doesn’t matter.

Looks very Irish probably cheap no idea of build quality

Small enough for a lowloader it doesn’t take much of a digger to fill one

I think the blue one may be my trailer although i bought it second hand. I think build quality is very good ramps are a bit heavy and my dads complaining so think i might have a re-design or fit some rams, the sliding ramps are handy as we use it alot for 3 ton digger and was a big factor in buying it.

Your right, but I would get in a lot of places I go.

What are you moving ? For my skidsteer I use a Marshall dropside trailer and homemade ramps

@tepapa Gardiner Trailers up at Arbroath will build you exactly what you are after. Well built with proper commercial axles and a decent layer of paint!!! And the added bonus of being cheaper than some of the offerings from some of the Irish hero's.

Size is an issue. I've got an 18' trailer and can get into most places with it. I've also got a 24' one which I can't even get into my yard. Need to upgrade to high speed though.

I shall look them up. I don't mind spending for the right trailer but when you see what second hand ex hgv trailers for next to nothing, you do feel a little cheated.
