The leading trailer manufacturer in the UK, Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd has to date manufactured over four hundred thousand trailers. The customer base is equally wide, from farmers and show jumpers to builders and plumbers. They shall need details of the date of theft, make and model of trailer and the Serial Number, which should be available to you from your paperwork. I have had 2 trailers with no paperwork and it doesn’t always mean they are a bit dodgy. Newer trailers usually have a Datatag certificate, PDI report, dealership receipt etc. Not all trailers will have paperwork if they are over 10 years old especially. With the exception of Unbraked trailers, all trailers will have a chassis code also.
