Andover Trailers’ sales department specialises in providing customers with bespoke engineering support, rather than just straight sales support. With the specialist and technical nature of the equipment it is not possible to carry out a straight sales function.

Andover Trailers offers a range of beavertail plant bodies from 7.5 to 32 tonnes; centre balance and conventional draw-bar trailers from 6 to 30 tonnes; step frame low loaders from 28 to 95 tonnes; and drop well low loaders of 28 to 120 tonnes. The Goldhofer range of equipment ranges from the 6 tonne draw-bar up to modular equipment to carry 10,000 tonnes. This range includes conventional draw-bar trailers, step frame trailers, triple extend flat trailers to triple extend drop well low loaders, wind mill equipment, modular trailers, aircraft tugs and recovery equipment.

To cover this wide range Andover Trailers sales department is headed by Ivan Collins, sales director. Scottish-based Stewart Tindal looks after Scotland and Ireland; Clive Jones, is responsible for England and Wales, and Plant Body sales manager Simon Buckle gives additional support and looks after the specification of this part of the range.

Customers come to Andover because they rely on our expertise in knowing which product is best suited to carry their load, with the benefits and drawbacks of each type of product. When appointing a sales person we look for a good understanding of engineering and knowledge of the product, plus the ability to be able to talk and sell it to customers.

The sales department is backed by a good aftersales department headed by Richard Maber and service engineer, Paul Brown.

Andover prides itself in having products which are seen in the marketplace to be ‘Better by Design’ and sold by a team who understand the needs of the customer. Furthermore, those needs are matched to the correct equipment from a vast range to move the load safely and with the maximum return for the operator.
