Their design experience, utilising 3D CAD and modern production machinery including laser cutting, CNC steel forming and robot welding has enabled them to manufacturer an extensive range of trailers which combine exceptional strength with a low unladen weight and excellent stable towing characteristics.
All trailers are manufactured to comply with the latest European regulations and have been inspected by the VCA and granted European Whole Vehicle Type Approval. A certificate of conformity is supplied free with every trailer to permit registration in all European countries (registration is not required in the UK).
Trailers do not have to be fitted with brakes until the gross weight exceeds 750 kg, or if the weight of the trailer and load does not exceed half the weight of the towing vehicle. This has many benefits, the trailer cost is much less and maintenance is greatly reduced.
Bateson Livestock Trailers have been in production for over 70 years during which time they have developed continuously to keep abreast of ever changing legislation with regard to motor vehicles and the transport of animals.
We have taken care to keep the trailers as simple and light as possible without sacrificing strength in order to cope with the harsh environment in which they may operate.
This range of general purpose trailers has been designed to offer maximum strength with a low unladen weight, combined with modern appearance and safe, stable towing characteristics.
All models have a hot dipped galvanised steel chassis with 2mm thick pre-galvanised steel sides 300mm deep and an 18mm phenol coated non-slip plywood floor.

With the introduction of EU type approval it is often uneconomical for companies to manufacture their own trailer chassis for fixed equipment, generators, compressors, pumps and tanks etc. Bateson Trailers have, over the years, manufactured hundreds of special trailers individually designed to meet customers specific requirements. We have a vast experience and can advise on the viability of any particular project with full European type approval
There is a vast range of spares for nearly every trailer that Bateson Trailers have built, and standard parts like brake components, lamp units, mudguards, wheels and tyres etc will be often suitable for other makes, at competitive prices.
