Introducing Elston Trailers

The story of Elston Trailers commenced in 1969 when Keith Elston, Simon’s father, initiated the construction of trailers and installation of towing brackets at Wigan Trailer Centre. Presently, after more than five decades, the enterprise continues to manufacture bespoke trailers in Canterbury and across the UK, tailored to diverse specifications. Elston Trailers are purpose-built for off-road, industrial, and agricultural usage. Over time, a wide array of standard and custom trailers have been meticulously crafted for Councils, Utility Companies, and Private Enterprises, catering to an array of applications.

Advancements in Trailer Air Suspension

Following the innovation and patenting of air suspension for trailers, welfare units, and mobile sleeper cabins, this technology has demonstrated numerous towing advantages. It facilitates improved ground clearance and the ability to adjust the towing height of the trailer. This adjustable towing height ensures a secure and effective ride height in tandem with the towing vehicle, while also minimizing the centre of gravity.

Our approach emphasises the need for seamless integration between the towing vehicle and the trailer to create a safe and secure towing experience. Elston’s ongoing developments in ground-lowering and hi-lift suspension for trailers comprehensively enhance the entire trailer experience, making loading effortless and towing secure.
