H Van Replica Retro Trailers For Sale

Our trailers are braked twin axle trailers, which offer a more steady drive and a more controlled towing experience. They can carry more weight than a single axle – but having a twin axle also means they have better weight distribution. Some dual axle owners feel that they have less bounce, less sway and a lot smoother ride. A braked trailer gives you better control, aside from the stopping distance, when coming down long descents the more brakes the better. And you have a hand brake when unhitched! UK rules (as of Dec 2021) you are able to tow a trailer on your car licence without specialist training. For up to date information regarding towing rules, don’t just take our word for it check out the DVLA website.

The fiberglass shell is a highly lightweight material and can be moulded into the desired form before curing. When reinforced with special polyester resin, you get a material that is highly durable and long-lasting.

Our replica trailers have been designed with space in mind. Compared with an original Citroen HY Van you get over 2.5m² extra working space. This is due to the removal of the cab and the addition of the back box. The back box can house two undercounter fridges for example with a work surface above to serve from. It was specifically designed with optimal functionality by smart processing and routing, efficient use of the space available and weight distribution. We have thought of everything, we have even lowered the floor for a little extra head room.

Vintage vehicles will always have an edge in catching an onlooker’s eye and have helped draw in a crowd.The old French Citroen Type H van will turn heads wherever it goes; it just has the ‘wow’ factor that catches the eye of even the least flavoured enthusiast. This is why we have designed our custom trailer based on the corrugated appearance, with its prominent grille and bug-eye style headlight, replicated to offer that classical French second-to-none design. We have taken this little gem and made it into a unique work space. Add to this a fully-functional modern mobile kitchen facility and the trailer stands head and shoulders above the competition.

Our trailers have been designed to be low maintenance due to zero mechanics, galvanised chassis & GRP shell. The basic maintenance needed is keeping the tyres and breaking system in check. Galvanizing is a one-time process that ensures maintenance-free use, long service life and virtually eliminates disruptive maintenance on the trailer chassis. The coating is made from zinc and is used to halt the formation of rust. The fibreglass body (GRP) is a moulded product bonded together in a single manufacturing process, diamond hard, waterproof and offers a high resistance to long-term wear.
