The lighter evenings now mean I can get to a few more little jobs after people finish work.

It’s definitely a good thing as I recently had a trailer to look at late one afternoon and during a service I found that the brake back plates were seriously corroded to the point that the brake shoes were no longer fastened inside the drum.
I returned the following day to replace the parts and now everything is safe for a new season 😀
These issues aren’t always immediately visible to owners and don’t get noticed until it becomes a problem and then you end up stuck or even worse stranded with a horse on board.

If your trailer hasn’t been looked at for a while please consider booking a check over and I’ll come out to you.

✨️ For Sale ✨️

3.5T horsebox, double ramped, coach built, only done 2,970 miles since we bought it September 2022. Current miles 57,000. MOT expires August 2026. TN07 EGU. Payload approx 1 ton.

Selling as Maisie is now retired and its just wasted sitting doing nothing.
I'm wanting a stress free sale as really haven't got time currently with university, house moving and work!

It was valued at £13,995 but will take sensible offers as want it to go to new home.

Some positives:
● Always been commented on how good the chassis when it goes for its MOT.
● Previous owners put a new floor in and new tyres not long before sale to me.
● Takes a big horse comfortably.

Some negatives:
● Internal camera doesn't work properly I think there's moisture in the screen in the cab, I use a remote camera linked to my phone and never looked into fixing this as Maisie started with her lameness when it started failing.

It’s been a busy few weeks as people look to prepare vehicles for the coming winter events.

Since the start of September I have had 2 full 7.5t floor replacements and 2 soft/damaged ramp wood repairs.

Trailer servicing and repairs are still keeping me occupied between the bigger jobs along with reverse/horse camera kits and other general maintenance.

Things usually start to calm down after the summer season but this year has been exceptionally busy throughout,I’m still taking lots of trailer service bookings and have 2 new 3.5t one piece rubber floor replacements to fit over the next few days.

It’s been a busy few weeks for repairs recently,
Lightweight EVA wall boarding upgrades/replacements have been popular this month along with additional wall bracing for 3.5t boxes.

The long panel along the drivers side can flex if not braced correctly and will start to cause premature deterioration along the mounting points at the cab/pod and centre wall or breast bar causing the wall to become weak or even move away from the body in some cases.
Fitting a brace as many of the top end manufacturers do as standard can help secure the panel and ensure your horse travels safely.

The brace can be fitted to all 3.5t boxes

I also had a customer specifically request a front brace along the bulkhead at the back of the driver as the horses weight was deforming the panel as it leant against it,the difference in strength was immediately apparent.

This Equitrek was found to have a soft panel when I checked it during a routine service.
After discussing what was required the customer requested supply/fit of a new complete side panel.

It was quite a shock to see how badly the panel had rotted when it was removed and almost folded itself in half when lifted.

These trailers start to show weakness around the bottom edges alongside the wheel arch and become unsafe when the fittings above the wheel arch start to pull into the panel.

All done now and was a pleasure to work with the customer and her friends on a lovely sunny day 😀
