Who We Are

Built South African.
Since 2001.

Our Story

From a Small Brits Workshop to Southern Africa's Trusted Trailer Manufacturer.

Platinum Trailers CC started in 2001 with a simple idea: South African farmers, contractors and fleet operators deserved trailers built specifically for South African conditions, not generic imports adapted after the fact.

What began as a small operation in Brits has grown into a full manufacturing facility producing livestock trailers, commercial bowsers, utility trailers, and fully custom builds, every single one engineered and welded on-site, road-legal from day one, and backed by spares and after-sales support that keeps our customers running.

Today we supply clients across all nine South African provinces and export to six countries across the region, but the standard hasn't changed since day one: every trailer that leaves our gates is built to last.

What We Stand For

Our Values

Built to Last

No shortcuts on materials or welding. Every trailer is engineered to survive South African roads and South African work.

Built to Your Spec

We listen first. Every custom build starts with understanding exactly what your operation needs, not a generic catalogue item.

We Stand Behind It

Spares in stock, repairs in-house, technicians who know our products. If something needs attention, we're a phone call away.

Life at Platinum

Our People

Built to Last starts with the people building it. Every trailer that leaves our Brits factory passes through the hands of a team that's been with us for years: technicians, fabricators, and welders who take pride in the work and look out for each other on and off the floor.

Happy colleagues, happy life. That's not just something we say, it's how the workshop runs.
