The things people most often ask about Ifor Williams trailers and buying from Southern Trailers. Can't find your answer? Just get in touch.
Ifor Williams Trailers is a British manufacturer that has been building trailers for more than 65 years. That long heritage translates into proven engineering, durability and towing quality. Southern Trailers is the Australian distributor for the brand.
Yes. The trailers are Australian approved and compliant up to 3500kg, so you can buy, register and tow with confidence within the law.
Hot dip galvanising coats the chassis inside and out with zinc, giving outstanding protection against rust and corrosion. In Australian conditions that means a trailer that lasts for decades rather than seasons, with far less maintenance.
The trailers use proven mechanical brakes fitted with a breakaway cable as standard. This gives controlled, reliable braking and an added safety measure should the trailer ever separate from the tow vehicle.
There are over a thousand variants across the range, spanning livestock, tipper, plant, flatbed, car transporter, box van, tiltbed, Transporta, domestic and single axle tipper trailers, plus horsebox containers and canopies. Whatever the job, there is likely an Ifor Williams built for it.
