Appreciate your support! I’ll be sure to let you know when they are on sale, prices will start at around £15k for the 3m ones, will be ready-to-go and perfect for all types of food businesses.

I feel like I can build one next time😂 Will keep you updated!

To my understanding and after reading the IVA inspection notes, everything is fine. The coupler has an overrun brake. It’s got a 50mm ballpoint. It has a breakaway cable (which is not legally required as it’s under 1500kg) and has a secondary coupling device (the chains). However, I did find...

My only issue now is that there’s no breakaway cable. I guess that chain just provides extra security. But if the trailer was to become unhitched while the car was in motion, the brakes wouldn’t turn on, which from what I have read online is the law.

https://www.trekhardware.com.au/products/4-hole-over-ride-2000kg-mechanical-brake-complete Also sold on Amazon U.K. too but unbranded. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0C66XWRBS?noLL=1&askMessage=USER_BANNED#Ask Seems to be popular in Australia and it’s listed as an over-run one.

After some research, I have found the exact type of coupling system installed on my arriving trailers. From what I know, it is a braked system however it does look different to ones seen in the U.K. which have a black coil-like rubber material just after the hitch.

Thanks a lot for this! I think they are missing the registration plate light, so I’ll need to enquire about this too.

The rear of the trailer looks like this and the lights will be synchronised with the car, so I hope everything will be fine when it arrives at the port in around 8 weeks.

Yes if it fails the test, I guess the only solution would be to find someone to install the AL-KO system, which I guess isn’t cheap😅

Appreciate all the replies! Yeah I’ve read over the IVA inspection rules many times😅 If the braking system doesn’t meet the requirements, is it easy to find someone to install an AL-KO system? I think they look rather cool too, but not easy starting a new business with my Dad with all the...

The finished product will look similar to this. I have paid extra to make sure it has a brake system and that the trailer hookups to the car meaning the lights are synchronised. It’ll be classed as a O2 trailer as it’s over 750kg. It will be a single braked axel too.

Hey all, I’m buying a catering trailer from overseas. The manufacturer has previous experience of dealing with customers in England. Just a quick question: If the trailer, which is 4m long and weighs 1000kg, can this type of system be used and pass safety tests? I have attached a photo as a...
