What’s the most valuable thing you’ve ever put on a trailer?

We’ve towed everything from tired old workhorses to cars worth more than a large house! Every one of them needed the same thing, a trailer that was actually up to the job.

Drop yours in the comments. Bonus points if there’s a story that goes with it.

Following on from yesterday, here's another piece of kit worth having on hand. It locks straight onto the wheel and makes a trailer far harder to simply hitch up and drive off with.

It's a small cost next to the trailer itself and it's the difference between a thief getting an easy win, or just moving on! Fits in seconds, comes off just as fast when you need to tow.

Like the rest of the security kit we stock, it's there alongside the trailer, not something you have to go and source separately.

A trailer left on a driveway or a yard overnight is an easy target if it's not properly secured. Thieves know exactly what an unlocked hitch or an unclamped wheel means.

The fix is straightforward and doesn't cost much next to the trailer itself. A decent hitch lock or wheel clamp turns an opportunist theft into a job nobody wants to bother with.

We stock proper SAS Security Products Ltd kit alongside every trailer we sell, not as an afterthought. Ask us what suits yours.

Stone chips. Road grime. Weather rolling in halfway to the track. If you've ever towed something you love on an open trailer, you'll know the feeling of watching the sky more than the road.

An enclosed transporter changes that completely. The Brian James RT7 carries your car in its own sealed, weatherproof space and the rear door and tilt bed run off a wireless remote, so loading a low car is a one-person job with no wrestling and no ramps to fight.

It's built to protect what you're moving, not just haul it. Composite floor, a winch that won't touch your paintwork and a five year warranty behind the whole thing.

If you've been making do with an open trailer, come and see what proper transport looks like.

What do you think is lurking under the cover in this Brian James Trailers RT7?

Lets drop some answers in the comments below...

Looking to hire some of our access equipment, but not entirely confident in operating it yourself? We can provide you with a driver to operate the equipment too.

This opens the doors to more people who have a job to do at height, but don't have the experience with the machinery and would likely otherwise find a more dangerous workaround!

Got a specific need or problem? Get in touch.

What a great weekend at the Mathewsons Classic Cars event at the Great Yorkshire Showground!

We brought a range of Brian James Trailers along for people to take a look at and it was a pleasure to give so many of you a tour of the fleet.

To everyone who expressed interest this weekend, we look forward to talking to you further soon and a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand.

Where would you like to see us next?
