company information |
Challenger Trailers Ltd was established 40 years ago and
to date has manufactured over 250 000 trailers. We are
South Africa's largest manufacturer of trailers up to
2920kg gross weight, manufacturing trailers for a wide
variety of purposes.
The wide product range includes livestock, horsebox,
general purpose, tipping, plant, flatbed, container, car
transporters as well as 4 x 4 off road trailers! The
customer base is equally wide, from farmers and show
jumpers to builders, sportsman and outdoor nature
lovers.
The company's philosophy is to produce high quality
trailers that combine high technology with strength,
durability, ease of maintenance and value for money. An
advanced Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing system
is used and the company makes sure the opinions of its
customers are incorporated into its research and
development activities: trailers are designed to meet
the needs of real people doing real jobs.
A high percentage of parts are produced to the company's
own designs, including axles, chassis and most body
parts. Purchased parts and materials are sourced from
approved manufacturers who are able to satisfy the
demands set for consistent high quality. Rigorous checks
are made continuously on self-manufactured components
and those it buys in.
Further investments continue to be made in new
facilities under a programme of improvements in
manufacturing methods, materials handling systems, the
products themselves and customer service.
The company invests heavily in the latest manufacturing
technology. Facilities include, German-made Hydraulic
automated punching and materials handling machine. This
computerised machine works to an accuracy of under .001
of a millimetre, which enables us to produce a constant
high quality product on our production line. Trailers
are produced at our main manufacturing site in
Naboomspruit, Limpopo province.
Product distribution is handled by dealers in South
Africa and a growing network of subsidiaries and
independent distributors across Africa. |
