Trailer Hire in Central and southern Scotland possibly Cumbria

[Simon_CSK]

Help!!.

I need to hire a trailer as above to take a P38 from Oxford to my home in Glasgow. Does anybody know where I can hire a flat bed trailer with ramps to take 2.5 tonne load??

Carlisle is also an option if necessary.

Thanks

Simon, I've just been onto indespensions website and they have a depot in Glasgow: http://hire.indespension.com/cgi-bin/book2.cgi?lid=glasgow You could ring them and ask If they one way hire to Glasgow from Northampton as that the nearest place for this: http://hire.indespension.com/cgi-bin/trailer.cgi?tid=CT35167T which'll be ideal for your P38

Sorry If this doesn't help It's something I thought of as a lot of car hire places do one way hire and I thought maybe the trailer hire company I've given you the links too would do the same too

There's these guys at Lockerbie: http://www.southwesttrailerhire.co.uk/

I know of a couple others but they're more on the south-western side - Galloway and South Ayrshire way.

Indespension only do a 2700kg trailer which is no good for the P38 which comes in at 2.5 tonnes on its own but thanks. I have have also tried Mr Towbar in Troon and HSS hire who are going to get back to me tomorrow.

The problem here is the weight but all suggestions greatly appreciated.

There's also TH Jenkinson in Ayr, I'm not sure if they hire but they're an Ifor dealer anyhow. They've also got a place in Castle Douglas.

Would a local trailer place give you a 'test drive'?

[qwakers]

you might be better off buying one and selling it when you get there. probably be cheaper and easier.

With luck a transport company near you will have a truck driving home empty that they'll want to fill with your load for not much £££. Beats the hell out of hiring a trailer and then fuelling a towing vehicle there and back!

Not sure if it's much help but if you search for trailer or trailer hire there's a company advertising hire for £50 a day based in the Scottish borders area

Try Fenwick Motors on the A77 just by Fenwick (funnily enough). They used to do car trailer hire but not sure if they still have them or sizes.

This would have been great thanks unfortunately the max weight they do is 2600kg and I need 3500ky for a P38

I am not sure he still does trailer hire.

Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions I have found a company in Rosyth that hires out 3500kg ones. A bit of a trek but very necessary. I was beginning to panic about getting it home.
