About Tickners Trailers

Every Tickners trailers is:
- GB Type Approved — fully road legal and certified
- Built in Britain — manufactured at their Norfolk workshop
- Backed by a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty
- Highly customisable — colours, doors, ramps, shelving, tie rings and more
- Lightweight but robust — designed for long-term domestic and commercial use
Tickners has built a strong following among campers, motorcyclists, go-karters, market traders, and small businesses who need a reliable, good-looking trailer that can be specified exactly to their needs.
Popular Tickners Trailer Models
A selection of the most in-demand Tickners trailers is listed below. Custom orders are welcome.
GP Single Axle Box
The GP is Tickners’ most popular model, a 5ft wide, single axle unbraked box trailer available in five different lengths. It can be rated at either 650kg or 750kg depending on your towing vehicle.
The GP is highly versatile. Common configurations include:
- Standard enclosed box for camping, storage, or general transport
- Motorcycle trailer — with wheel locks and tie rings fitted
- Kart trailer — with Tickners’ modular shelf system to carry two or more karts and associated equipment
- Light business use — ideal for market traders, mobile businesses, and event companies
Door and ramp options are available, along with a wide range of colours and optional extras.
GT Twin Axle Box
The GT is the twin-axle version of the GP, the same 5ft wide box design but with twin axles for added stability when loaded. Available in six different lengths, also rated at 650kg or 750kg.
The twin axle configuration is popular with customers who are carrying heavier or bulkier loads and want a steadier tow. All the same customisation options apply, door types, ramp options, colours, and internal shelving.
Karting Trailers
A Winning Formula!
Tickners’ GP and GT box trailers can be custom-built for go-karting with a fully modular internal shelf system. A configured kart trailer accommodates two or three karts along with stands, trolleys, tools, and equipment, with room to spare.
These are popular with club racers and competitive teams who need a properly organised trailer rather than trying to adapt a general-purpose one. If you’re serious about karting, a properly configured Tickners trailer makes a significant practical difference.
