Trailers
The Design and manufacture of military trailers is a core capability of Universal Engineering. For over 10 years, the company has produced a wide range of military trailers which are in service all over the world with the UK MOD and Prime Contractors.
As well as ‘build to print’ projects, Universal Engineering produce ruggedised military trailers that are tailor made to our customers own exacting specifications.
We also work with the customer, to ensure that the trailers work with the towing vehicles, so as not to impede mobility.
