A brand that never really seemed to have ever taken off in the Uk.There was a thread about the aforementioned company on this forum before. No longer a popular choice for many.

they are good tbf, but when you can buy a bailey, marshall or richard western and a couple gallons of epoxy enamel for £5-10k less it would be a hard sell to me, but plenty seem convinced so good luck to themThere’s one thing going by what you read on here, Stewart and larrington won’t have to worry about been keen on price after reading what’s on here
Prices are for a basic trailer. Marshall trailers have a excellent online configurator where you start with base model and add bits on.be interesting to see how the larrington quote compares to the stewart, nothing would surprise me with how things are though have you priced bailey or any others?
just seen on baileys website that their 26m3 trailer is still advertised at £21500... must be a mistake surely

There's very little difference in price between trailer manufacturers if you're comparing trailers with the same specification. May as well buy the well finished, properly painted trailer than the badly finished trailer that starts to rust before it has even been used.they are good tbf, but when you can buy a bailey, marshall or richard western and a couple gallons of epoxy enamel for £5-10k less it would be a hard sell to me, but plenty seem convinced so good luck to them
Marshall are a budget brand with a premium price tag. The finish on our last new Marshall was so bad it went back to the factory.Prices are for a basic trailer. Marshall trailers have a excellent online configurator where you start with base model and add bits on.
Commercial axles, air brakes, load sensing, led lights, ABS, flotation tyres.
Soon mounts up.
Was a few years ago we priced new trailers but not much difference between a Stewart and a Marshall. Marshall are no longer a budget brand. There build quality and finish would be up there with other more popular brands of trailer.
We ended up buying a ex hire Stewart.
I guess it depends on the deal and what you're buying, but when i have had spec for spec quotes in the past there have been absolutely huge differences, over 100% more expensive in one caseThere's very little difference in price between trailer manufacturers if you're comparing trailers with the same specification.

Maybe it depends on who you're dealing with but amongst Northern Ireland's trailer manufacturers there's nothing in it on price when the spec is the same. Some build to a lower spec as standard so their standard build is cheaper but they can be more expensive when brought up to match the standard spec of others.I guess it depends on the deal and what you're buying, but when i have had spec for spec quotes in the past there have been absolutely huge differences
really? a fleming spec for spec to a hudson was half the priceMaybe it depends on who you're dealing with but amongst Northern Ireland's trailer manufacturers there's nothing in it on price when the spec is the same.

Was it painful? Maybe only the fairer sex employed?contractors who don’t have balls
Fleming won't build a trailer to the same spec as Hudson so you can't compare themreally? a fleming spec for spec to a hudson was half the price
in fairness the hudson was galvanised and fleming wasnt but still a big difference
what make is that? tbh my broughan isnt really as good as i expected, paint is no better than on my fleming. would buy a bailey instead if i could go back, bailey was about £2k cheaper from memoryOur Irish dump trailer has the worst paint finish
of all our trailers. Pity because otherwise excellent
build quality .
Chieftain .what make is that? tbh my broughan isnt really as good as i expected, paint is no better than on my fleming. would buy a bailey instead if i could go back, bailey was about £2k cheaper from memory
was same size, axles, wheels, tyres, brakes.... hudson would be better quality yes but i could have thrown my fleming away, bought another and id be no worse off than the hudsonFleming won't build a trailer to the same spec as Hudson so you can't compare them
if I could get reliable and consistent contractors at the right price I would do exactly that
What do these big trailers weigh empty, I mean how much can you carry(legally) if going on roads?
I don’t know, but looking at that one I can’t help but think if you fully load it, the trailer will remove itself from the drawbar at the hinge for the sprung draw bar, looks very little steel on the trailer side.
