Trailer Modifications
At Faymonville Trailers, we specialise in off-spec customisation, tailoring trailers to perfectly meet our customers' needs before collection or delivery. These customisations are often beyond what’s feasible on the factory line—and our craftsmanship is so seamless that many end users never realise these modifications weren't part of the original production.
Whether you're considering a new trailer or want to enhance an existing one, we're here to help you explore additional options that can maximise your trailer's performance. Our experience as both trailer operators and mechanical engineers means we can offer practical suggestions based on real-world usage. We're always thinking of new ways to better equip our customers, but our best ideas come from listening to your needs.
Here are some of our most common customisations:
- Manual or auto-drop lift axle kits (choice of axle)
- Hydraulic and electric winch installations (with radio remote control)
- Combined winch enclosure and lashing equipment
- Fall arrest system manufacture and installation
- Flashing side marker/indicator kits
- Additional work lamps, reverse lamps, strobe units, and beacons
- Expanded metal ramp overlay sections
- Three-position folding front T-bar/bumper bars
- Rear ramp lockout assemblies, with or without pivoting rear lamp mechanisms
- Additional plastic or stainless steel toolboxes
- Galvanized under-chassis stowage trays
- Front trailer extensions with drop-in wheel recesses
- Rail channel recesses along the length of the bed or neck
- Rear trailer extension sections (for trailers without hydraulic ramps)
We’re always ready to make your daily operations more efficient and effective. Get in touch, and let’s make your trailer exactly what you need it to be.

Fabrication
Engineering and Fabrication
We have invested heavily over the last few years to be able to grow our business in a way that meets our customers’ needs and expectations. Using the latest in high definition cnc plasma cutters we are able to mass produce unmanned identical items every time with little to no after cut prep. Doing this reduces downtime and improves the standard of the finished product. To add to this we have implemented a variety of new CLOOS welding systems, high amperage synergic pulse mig sets, high amperage synergic pulse tig sets and the latest in hand held plasma torch cutters from Lincoln.
Some of the services we can offer; aluminium mig and tig welding, stainless steel mig and tig welding, mild steel mig and tig welding and high tensile steel mig welding. We keep a variety of materials on stock, aluminium profiles, plate, rhs section and heavy high tensile Swedish steel plate, mainly Strenx high performance steel which suits the nature of the business. This allows us to produce items which are not only light and flexible but 3 times the strength of their inferior counterparts.
Onsite bending, forming, shearing, punching and cropping also available as well as lathe machining.
