Trailers

If you need to ship a trailer, please make sure that it has a fully working jockey wheel and tyres that are adequately inflated and considered in good condition. For trailers over 3ft x 4ft, they must arrive with fully operational brakes which are required when crew are loading and moving trailers on the un-even ships deck.

Please bear in mind that trailers are not designed to be lifted with cargo — if you need to ship a packed trailer, you do so at your own risk. We are unable to ship trailers that have been packed beyond their standard holding capacity as this is an unsafe load to lift. We may refuse trailers that are damaged or overloaded. Trailers that are deemed to be overloaded will need to be emptied before lifting and an excess luggage fee will apply in accordance to our standard freight charges.

*The company reserves the right to refuse damaged or overloaded trailers that is deemed unfit for shipping.
