How Tickners compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Tickners.
Tickners vs Blue Line
Value-focused British-built general purpose trailers and box vans. Suits tradespeople and smallholders who want a galvanised UK-made trailer for meaningfully less than Ifor Williams money, with a useful sideline in vending and catering bodies.
Tickners vs Debon
The ride-quality option in box vans and tippers. The Pullman 2 four-wheel independent suspension gives a low floor and car-like towing, which is exactly what someone moving bikes, a track car or trade kit notices at 60mph on a motorway.
Tickners vs Anssems
Aluminium construction gives unusually high payload for the gross weight, which matters enormously when a licence category or a tow rating is the binding constraint. The GT500 hard-tops are popular with campers who want something lockable.
Tickners vs Erde
The classic first trailer. Camping, garden waste and tip runs, light enough for a small car, with no braking system to maintain and a large accessory catalogue behind it. Nobody buys one for work, and that is the point.
