A trailer off the road leaves a gap in your earning capacity.

Alongside manufacturing new tipping trailers, we also offer trailer repairs at our Scunthorpe site to help you get more working life from your existing equipment.

If you’ve got damage that needs attention or a repair you’ve been meaning to get sorted, get in touch with Weightlifter. Tell us what needs doing and send over a few photos so we can discuss the next steps.

The chassis carries your entire operation, which means choosing the wrong type can be an expensive mistake.

Every operation has different demands, which is why we build our chassis entirely in-house across multiple variations designed to suit your specific work:

➡️ Harvester spec

9.9m sloping frame. Built for the payload-conscious with no compromise on strength, just less weight. *Only available with a pocket ram body.

➡️ Sloper chassis

10.1m or 10.6m, coupled with a sloping headboard body for optimum load discharge.

➡️ Step frame

Handy for hauliers who run a tag axle tractor unit, ensuring the right clearance and coupling compatibility for the setup.

We work closely with you to ensure your equipment matches your exact operational requirements.

If you are unsure which chassis type suits your fleet, get in touch with our sales team on 01724 872444 or email [email protected].

Have you seen the latest issue of Bulk & Tipper? 👀

Great to see Brice Aggregates taking centre stage on the front cover! Always a pleasure to see one of our customers getting the spotlight.

Inside, you’ll also find a feature on our SMART Trailer technology and how it can help operators reduce downtime, manage running costs and get more from their trailers.

A big thanks to Onyx Freight Services for the photos and supporting piece for this feature 👏

When every cost is climbing, the last thing you need is a trailer that’s stopped earning.

The Weightlifter SMART Trailer Package brings together technology to help you reduce avoidable downtime and keep a closer eye on running costs.

Tyre pressure monitoring helps you spot pressure loss before it becomes a costly problem.

Onboard weighing helps you make the most of your available payload.

Electronic brake performance monitoring can reduce the need for laden roller brake tests, saving workshop time and time off the road.

This trailer has been specified with payload in mind 🚛 👇

Built for Brigg Haulage, it pairs our 9.9m Harvester spec sloper chassis with a 60-yard aluminium plankside body.

A few features worth a closer look:

• Lightweight aluminium landing legs
• VPG onboard weighing with a handheld display
• Vertical taildoor with a grain hatch
• Rollover sheet with ratchets set into the side planks

The finished unit looks spot on in Brigg Haulage’s colours 👌

Not a bad weekend for our latest sponsorship! 🏁🏆

We recently sponsored our customer Gareth Winterburn and his sidecar racing team, with the Weightlifter and PPG Fabrications logos taking a slightly different trip out this weekend.

Gareth and his racing partner Frankie Courtney competed at the 2026 British Masters Grasstrack Final last weekend and came away winners of the sidecar final! 👏

A brilliant result for the pair and a pretty good first outing for our logos too.

Congratulations Gareth and Frankie! 🏆

Another trailer ready for John Beaty Transport Ltd 👌

This is the fourth Weightlifter trailer John Beaty Transport have taken from us over the past year, this time opting for a 72 CuYd plankside bulker on our Harvester specification.

The Harvester spec uses our lightweight chassis, helping to keep the overall trailer weight down and maximise payload.

They’ve also gone for a few useful additions, including VPG onboard weighing, TPMS, a remote-operated Dawbarn Hydroclear sheet and a grain hatch, chute and sock.

Finished with a metallic Scania grey body, red chassis and red and white sheet, it’s certainly looking the part too.

Thanks again to the team at John Beaty Transport for choosing Weightlifter. Great to see number four heading out of the workshop!

We recently visited Onyx Freight Services to check in on their SMART Trailer...

We have a full write up coming soon, but we just couldn’t wait to share a sneak peak. Looking SMART at work, if we do say so ourselves! 👀
