trailer hire brand
Equi-Trek
Equi-Trek makes both towed horse trailers and motorised horseboxes, ranging from small car-licence models up to 7.5 tonne trucks, with several ranges built around living or changing accommodation rather than just horse transport. It is bought by competition riders and yards who want a UK-built alternative to Ifor Williams-style trailers or to continental motorised horsebox builders, often specifically for the added living space its Treka trailer ranges offer.

How Equi-Trek compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Equi-Trek.
Equi-Trek vs Ifor Williams
The UK default, and the benchmark every other make gets measured against. Farmers, contractors and hire fleets buy Ifor Williams for galvanised durability, strong resale and the fact that any dealer can get parts on a shelf the same week. Rarely the cheapest option and rarely the wrong one.
Equi-Trek vs Cheval Liberte
The continental alternative in a horsebox market that otherwise defaults to Ifor Williams. Aluminium construction, herringbone layouts and Pullman suspension give more space per kilo and a smoother ride, and Maxi Living adds changing space without stepping up to a lorry.
Equi-Trek vs Bateson
The hydraulic tilt-bed specialist, and a company that has been making trailers since 1934. Avonride independent rubber suspension, full hot-dip galvanising and long-tail spares support make it the pick for buyers who intend to keep a trailer for decades rather than years.
Equi-Trek vs Bockmann
Premium German horse transport, particularly the aluminium Portax and Champion. Serious competitors and dealers buy it for build quality and for the multi-horse Traveller, which has few direct equivalents in the UK.
Equi-Trek vs Nugent
The credible head-on alternative to Ifor Williams for working farms and contractors. A heavy chassis, Dual Drive suspension and a reputation for short order-to-delivery times win it buyers who want Ifor-grade toughness without Ifor lead times.
Equi-Trek vs Woodford
A specialist car-transport builder pitched just below Brian James. The Wide Body and Auto Cruiser suit modern wide cars and low-clearance vehicles, and traders buy them for close to Brian James capability at a keener price.
