Designed in-house, built in Britain
Every Towmate trailer is designed in-house by our own engineering team using CAD, then refined through feedback from the operators who use them every day. That loop between site and drawing office is how the range keeps improving.
Before a design goes into production it’s independently road tested by UTAC at Millbrook and VCA type approved, and our manufacturing is accredited to ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for environmental management.
Support for the life of your fleet
Components are kept consistent across the range, so parts are easy to source and replace and your fleet spends less time off the road. Servicing packages, finance and leasing options, and a warranty on our Standard and Pro models are all available.
With a growing dealer network across the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and customers in over 60 countries, there’s always someone who knows your trailer close by.
