Our trailers are meticulously designed to meet the unique requirements of each customer, resulting in exclusive and one-of-a-kind solutions.

In-House Development Team

Our team of engineers has created bespoke trailers for a variety of sectors, including local authorities, utilities, rail, road, and construction. Director Simon Elston plays a key role in overseeing the production of custom trailers in Southend-on-Sea and other major cities throughout the UK. Each trailer undergoes thorough quality assessment and obtains IVA approval to meet regulatory standards.

Individual or Batch Production

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

Introducing Elston Trailers

The history of Elston Trailers traces back to 1969 when Keith Elston, the father of the current owner, Simon Elston, began constructing trailers and installing towing brackets at Wigan Trailer Centre. Over the past five decades, the business has evolved into a leading manufacturer of custom trailers in Southend-on-Sea and across the UK, tailoring each trailer design to diverse 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 pioneered and holds a patent for trailer air suspension, welfare units, and mobile cabins, showcasing numerous towing advantages as well as the flexibility to adjust ground clearance or alter trailer towing height. This feature allows the towing height to be customised to the specifications of the towing vehicle, 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 continuous developments in ground-lowering and high-lift suspension enhance every aspect of the trailer experience, streamlining loading processes and ensuring safe towing.
