How Richardson Trailers compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Richardson Trailers.
Richardson Trailers 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.
Richardson Trailers 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.
