Just depends on WHO made it.

Definitely, too many people think they can build trailers when they really canāt. Some NI built trailers are some of the best you will buy, some you wouldnāt wish on your worst enemySome of these northern Irish trailers that are flooding the market are a disgrace
there was someone on here who had to re route and re wire the electrics on a brand new one because they where codged on with house hold connectors
Why, do we use square wheels or whatIrish trailers are fine. Till you need parts for them. That's when the fun starts...
What utter tosh! He built to be the best. The CE is just a standard .Not wanting to belittle due diligence, but would JCB exist if Joe had worried about CE marks when building his first tipping trailer ?
Had a silage panel wrecked on a shed roof. For speed, we (and the dealer) naively assumed they'd be able to pull one off the production line and stick it on the next lorry coming over. But they changed the spec at some point and don't seem to keep a note of what the old spec was, or the serial no when it was changed.What would you need as parts for a trailer from the manufacturers? Itās either been drilled, pressed, folded or welded or bought in components!! All available for half the price elsewhere
Stand down, it was a ROI manufacturerWhy, do we use square wheels or what
I doubt you'd have got on much better with any of the big manufacturers whatever nationality.Had a silage panel wrecked on a shed roof.

After much e-mailing back and forward with measurements and photos we still haven't got it.
And yes, maybe we could have got it made cheaper, but I'm not paying for it. It was out on loan.
We didn't realise it was obsolete when we ordered it. But it was more that they didn't seem to have the old spec on file somewhere, or even know when they changed them.I doubt you'd have got on much better with any of the big manufacturers whatever nationality.
I doubt Stewart or Bailey will keep stock of obsolete body panels.
Dose a ce mark stop things breaking ? I hope so , but I donāt think so !Didn't say that.
factory made stuff should at the very least be CE marked or whatever. It will be fit for purpose.
You can't say that with any amount of certainty with something home made
You charging the guy it was on loan to for a hire trailer till yours is sorted too?Had a silage panel wrecked on a shed roof.

No, it was still useable for the remainder of last summer. But I doubt we'd ever be able to get it back on now it's off.You charging the guy it was on loan to for a hire trailer till yours is sorted too?

I disagree.CE conformity doesn't mean a thing is fit for purpose all it means is that the the techniques the manufacturer has used have been inspected and they are satisfactory. So indeed that CE stamped trailer may have its hinges properly welded on but they could also be only half the size they need to be. CE doesn't cover design or material selection.
Its all in interpretation as the attached web page shows CE marking is a self certification process. I know a firm well does general welding/repairs and cnc work, has 5 employees. Boss / workshop foreman went on a 3 day CE course, passed it and is now qualified to inspect and CE mark their own stuff.I disagree.
To CE mark a product, you go through a process which, if done correctly (it rarely is) results in a machine which is fit for purpose and of adequate strength (in the example above) and assembled correctly.
CE marking has nothing to do with external inspection, unless your building Annex IV machines (which a trailer is not)
CE marking is a formalised method of common sense. Nothing more.
