Upgrade Your HGV Trailers with Professional Retrofitting Services

Ensure your HGV trailers meet all DVSA standards with our expert trailer retrofitting services. Whether it's braking system upgrades, lighting enhancements, load security modifications, or suspension improvements, we help keep your fleet safe, compliant, and performing at its best—without the cost of replacing entire trailers.

Advanced Trailer Retrofits for Efficiency & Safety

We specialize in:

  • ABS/EBS brake retrofitting and air brake system upgrades using top-quality components from brands like Knorr-Bremse, WABCO, and Haldex. These systems improve braking efficiency and integrate with modern telematics for real-time monitoring.
  • LED lighting conversions for better visibility, energy efficiency, and improved safety in low-light conditions.
  • Load security enhancements, including additional anchor points and certified restraint systems, reducing manual handling risks for drivers.
  • Suspension system upgrades, including lift axle installations and air suspension enhancements, which automatically adjust based on load weight to improve fuel efficiency, reduce tire wear, and enhance ride comfort.
  • Automation & Safety Features, such as self-raising axles, automated braking assist, and electronic stability control, making trailer operation safer, easier, and more efficient for drivers.

Cost-Effective Trailer Modernization

Retrofitting older trailers with modern technology and hardware is an excellent cost-effective alternative to purchasing new trailers. By upgrading key systems, you can:

  • Extend Trailer Lifespan – Keep older trailers in service longer with upgraded brakes, suspension, and automation features.
  • Reduce Capital Expenditure – Avoid the high costs of replacing trailers while still benefiting from the latest safety and efficiency technology.
  • Boost Fleet Performance – Improve braking response, fuel efficiency, and driver comfort with modern retrofits.
  • Ensure Compliance – Stay ahead of DVSA regulations by bringing older trailers up to current standards.
