Elston Trailers specialises in the creation of custom trailers in St Albans and across the UK, drawing upon more than five decades of expertise. Our trailers are meticulously crafted to meet the specific requirements of each customer, resulting in unique and exclusive solutions.

In-House Engineering Team

Our team of engineers has designed custom trailers for a wide range of sectors, including local authorities, utilities, rail, road, and construction. Director Simon Elston plays a crucial role in overseeing the production of bespoke trailers in St Albans and other major cities throughout the UK. Each trailer undergoes thorough quality assessment and obtains IVA approval to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Individual or Batch Production

We are delighted to offer guidance and pricing for individual prototypes or larger quantities of custom trailers, catering to a diverse range of applications, regardless of their nature. This may also involve integrating air suspension into your existing trailer design or implementing various enhancements to enhance an already established trailer.

Introducing Elston Trailers

The history of Elston Trailers dates back to 1969 when Keith Elston, the father of the current owner, Simon Elston, began building trailers and fitting towing brackets at Wigan Trailer Centre. Over the past fifty years, the business has evolved into a leading manufacturer of bespoke trailers in St Albans and across the UK, tailoring each trailer design to a wide array of specifications. Elston Trailers are purpose-built for off-road, industrial, and agricultural applications. Throughout the years, we have designed and manufactured an extensive range of standard and custom trailers for Councils, Utility Companies, and Private Enterprises.

Innovations in Trailer Air Suspension

Elston is the pioneer and patent holder for trailer air suspension, welfare units, and mobile cabins, offering numerous towing benefits and the flexibility to adjust ground clearance or modify trailer towing height. This feature allows for customisation of the towing height to match the towing vehicle’s specifications, ensuring a safe and practical ride height with a low centre of gravity.

Ongoing Advances in Trailer Suspension

Elston Trailers has introduced innovations such as ground-lowering and hi-lift suspension for trailers, emphasising the importance of synergy between the towing vehicle and trailer for a secure towing experience. These ongoing developments in ground-lowering and high-lift suspension enhance every aspect of the trailer experience, simplifying loading processes and ensuring safe towing.
