Horse trailers need dependable brakes, bearings, tyres and coupling components because the load is live, valuable and sensitive to harsh braking or poor road behaviour.
Servicing for Ifor Williams horse trailers
Depending on model and condition, we can inspect and service wheel brakes, drums, hubs, bearings, tyres and wheels, coupling and overrun system, handbrake, breakaway equipment, suspension/running gear and road lighting.
Where brake inspection requires it, drums can be removed so the internal components are actually seen rather than judged only from external adjustment.
Storage-related faults
Horse trailers often stand for long periods. Low annual mileage does not prevent brake corrosion, seized mechanisms, tyre ageing, bearing deterioration or moisture-related electrical faults.
Floors, ramps and body condition
We can report obvious deterioration noticed during workshop work. A normal mechanical service is not a specialist structural certification of the horse area, floor, ramp or body, and serious concerns may need further specialist assessment.
If possible, include the model, approximate age, axle/brake identification and photographs when you contact us. This helps us confirm workshop suitability and identify parts before the trailer arrives.
Frequently asked questions
Do you service Ifor Williams HB403, HB506 and HB511 trailers?
We can service many common Ifor Williams horse-trailer models. Give us the exact model if known so we can confirm the work and parts required.
Do you check both axles on a twin-axle horse trailer?
A twin-axle braking system needs to be considered across all of its braked wheels rather than only the wheel that first shows a symptom.
Can you replace horse-trailer tyres?
Yes, where a suitable tyre in the correct size and load specification is available. Tyre age and cracking matter even when tread remains.
