Car & Commercial Trailers
Moving vehicles or equipment is not something you want to leave to chance. Whether it’s a single car, site machinery or tools for the day ahead, the trailer you choose plays a big part in how smoothly everything runs.
At Cutlers Sales & Hire, we supply car and commercial trailers from trusted manufacturers including Brian James, Debon and Nugent. From vehicle transporters through to more general-purpose trailers for business use, the range is built around real working requirements rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
What Are Car Transporter Trailers?
If your main job is moving vehicles, a dedicated car transporter is usually the starting point. These trailers are built specifically for loading, securing and transporting cars in a way that keeps everything stable on the road.
You’ll typically come across two main types:
- Open transporters, which are lighter and easier to access
- Enclosed transporters, which offer additional protection during the journey
What Are Commercial Trailers?
- Moving tools and machinery between sites
- Transporting equipment for trade or maintenance work
- Supporting business operations that rely on regular transport
How to Choose the Right Trailer
Choosing a trailer is less about what looks right and more about what fits your routine. They need to cope with long days, varied loads and different road conditions without becoming difficult to manage. That’s why stability, predictable handling and solid construction all play such an important role.
If you regularly transport vehicles, a car transporter will give you the setup you need for safe loading and secure travel. On the other hand, if your work is more varied, a commercial trailer often provides more flexibility.
It’s also worth thinking about:
- The size and weight of what you carry
- How often you use the trailer
- Whether ease of access or protection matters more

I was in need of a transporter as soon as possible so I emailed Cutlers with my needs and the morning after Jack called me and we discussed what I needed and they had what I needed in stock which was excellent. They fitted some extra items and supplied a hitch lock I requested. Jack was excellent and a pleasure to deal with. Their premises are modern and impressive stock available. I would recommend these to anyone after any kind of trailer. I’ll be switching to these guys for servicing too! Keep up the great work and service!Posted on Google Aron BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Nigdy w życiu nie spotkałem milszej obsługi niż tutaj na żadnym z rozładunków. Pan przyjął dostawę o godzinie 20:00!! 5/5 gwiazdek, rozładunek poszedł w parę minut a samochód był cały załadowany. Świetna robota i świetna firma!!!Posted on Google Sarah MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service! Picked up a Devon double motorbike trailer, the only one we could find close enough to the South of England, so if you need one go to Cutlers! Really smooth process and accommodating. Thank you again! Made it all the way to Geneva and will be the touring Europe with it!Posted on Google Appreciating Classics LtdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Previously used Jack when purchasing our Race Transporter 4, service was absolutely brilliant. Aftersales/customer service has been superb as well!Posted on Google Richard BlundellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Cutler's Sales & Hire Ltd - Equi-trek Derby a couple of weeks ago (April 25) as I was looking for a new car transporter trailer - spoke to Jack who was very helpful. Having never owned or used a trailer before I didn't quite know what to expect so I went to see Jack who was very helpful and talked me through the various options. A great location, very modern/new premises with plenty of space and stock. As most of the other reviews mention Jack was not pushy at all - very professional. I placed an order shortly after and collected the trailer a couple of weeks later as I had to wait for my towbar to be fitted. They had the trailer in stock (which was a bonus) and couldn't be happier. A very seamless transaction. I would definitely recommend and use again without hesitation. Thanks Jack
