View our Fact Sheet for more details.
What can a trailer do for me ?
A Kompak trailer can be an invaluable tool to promote, sell and assist your company in a variety of ways. It is an excellent means of taking your product or service directly to your customers thereby making cost effective use of resources, manpower and capital investment.
Isn't it just a box on wheels ?

Isn't a Porsche just a box on wheels ? No, a Kompak trailer works effectively as a silent salesman for your company. It promotes your business even when it is being delivered to its destination. The trailer itself can play a key role in your marketing strategy in a number of ways. You can use it as a merchandising tool; for exhibition, display and hospitality purposes; for product sampling and catering and so on. If you attend trade shows, it's a portable trade show display unit ideal for promotional product advertising.

Can I tow a trailer with my car ?
We design and manufacture a wide range of Kompak trailers and a principle design feature of the smaller sizes (3m up to about 4.2m) is that they can be towed by most medium sized saloon cars and can be set up on site by one person.
How can we make the trailer more cost effective?

Many of our trailers are designed to be multi tasking with interior velcro display walls and interchangeable branding boards to enable maximum use of the unit. This means that different departments within the same company could share the same trailer. For example, it would be possible for us to design and build a single trailer suitable for use for IT training, marketing, healthcare, transport and product sampling. Display graphics and sign writing can be created to follow an existing corporate style or as an opportunity to promote a new product launch etc.

Is it possible to have a trailer built to suit my needs in particular?
Absolutely ! That's exactly what Blackburn Trailers have been doing for the last 30 years. We specialise in custom built trailers. Every trailer is a bespoke unit with the chassis fabricated in our workshop. This enables us to offer a fully flexible design and build service to your exact specifications. Optional extras can include slide-out pods to increase floor area, plasma screens, Playstations and simulators to enable interactive use of the unit, fully fitted galley areas, comfortable upholstered seating, 240V electrics and lighting, separate, lockable crew/office areas and so on. We've manufactured trailers with air conditioning, tinted windows, shower and bathroom facilities, fully networked multi user IT system and even built a trailer with a spa for horses ! With our experience and expertise we're confident that we can manufacture a custom built trailer suited to your needs.
What happens to the trailer when it is old or we would like a larger one?
Our units are manufactured to a very high standard and durable build quality and we are very adept and imaginative at refurbishing existing trailers. Trailer refurbishment could mean a spruce up of the paintwork or a complete overhaul. Alternatively, most trailers normally have a good resale value, allowing for upgrades to larger units. We also offer a very competitive trailer rental option.
I am not sure exactly what I want - Can you help with ideas?
We are more than happy to discuss your business requirements in detail and suggest various solutions. We encourage clients to visit our premises just outside Chichester as we always have a number of trailers in build which are useful to look at to give ideas and illustrate what is available. We would then produce a colour visual, detailed specification and budget costs for your consideration. We pride ourselves on our friendly, professional service and the quality and finish of our trailers so why not call us to arrange a time to visit and see for yourself ?
We don't have anywhere to keep our trailer. Can you help at all?
Yes we can! We offer a secure storage facility based with us or one of our nearby sites where you can leave you unit whilst not in operation. Why not have us service and over winter your unit at our site? Take the hassle out of keeping your unit in tip top condition and have it looked after by us.
