Becktons Trailers

[ontheplane]

Has anyone any experience (good or bad) of these guys??

I went to see their "factory" and although a bit of a back garden outfit, they have been going 30+ years, and seem very professional, the trailers look good and the prices are excellent.

So any feedback??

Thanks

I bought a new Becktons trailer (Parrymore as it was then), single axle, braked, for 6m RIB, in 2004 that I take in to Becktons for repair/service now and then. It's not been trouble free but nothing unexpected from a piece of kit that gets dunked in the sea on a regular basis then towed at motorway speeds. Always had good service from Tony Parrymore and his dad and would recommend them unreservedly as being straightforward and good to deal with. I sometimes think their service prices are a bit on the high side for a 'back yard' business (probably still cheaper than others) but I can't or don't want to do it myself and they are very convenient and very obliging. BTW, I think they've been going since 1958.

Ah - I've heard of Parrymore - I wondered why I'd not heard of them.....

Thanks for that - certainly their prices seem good - excellent in fact.

I think a similar Indespension and SBS trailer is a good 50% higher.

Good trailers in my view. Have owned one of their trailers since 1996.
