Brian James Digger Plant Trailer
Brian James Digger Plant Trailer
When it comes to transporting mini‑diggers, tracked plant, chippers, shredders or compact construction machinery, reliability and safety are everything. The Brian James Digger Plant Trailer has become one of the most trusted plant trailers in the UK, offering a rugged, modern and compliant transport solution for both commercial fleets and individual operators.
At Eakin Bros Ltd, we supply equipment built to perform in real‑world conditions across Northern Ireland — and the Digger Plant trailer is engineered precisely for that purpose.
Designed for Heavy Plant, Built for Everyday Reliability
The Digger Plant trailer is purpose‑built for transporting tracked machinery, with a tough, low‑ride chassis that ensures excellent stability and predictable towing performance. Its design prioritises strength, payload, and ease of use — essential for operators who load and unload machinery daily.
The trailer is available in multiple bed lengths and two gross capacity options: 2,700kg and 3,500kg, giving operators flexibility depending on their machinery requirements.
Key Features That Set the Digger Plant Trailer Apart
1. High‑Strength, Low‑Ride Chassis
The chassis is constructed from super‑strength steel, hot‑dip galvanised for long‑term corrosion resistance. Additional longitudinal beams reinforce the structure beneath the 18mm phenol‑ply anti‑slip deck, ensuring it can withstand the weight of heavy rollers, mini‑diggers and compact plant without damage.
2. Adjustable Punched Ramps
Loading is made easy with adjustable punched ramps, which can be positioned across the full width of the trailer in seconds. These galvanised steel ramps provide a low loading angle and high grip, making them suitable for a wide range of machinery. Unique nylon hinge sleeves eliminate rattling and wear.
3. TracStrap™ System (Exclusive to Brian James Trailers)
One of the standout features is the TracStrap system, designed in‑house and TÜV‑tested for exceptional towing security.
-
Adjustable front chocks create a fixed loading point
-
Each track is secured with 2.5‑tonne rated straps
-
Heavy‑duty wear protectors ensure long‑term durability
This system dramatically reduces loading time while improving safety.
4. Multiple Anchor Points
The chassis includes numerous high‑strength tie‑down points, punched for grip and durability. This makes securing machinery straightforward, even for irregularly shaped equipment.
5. Smooth‑Ride, Self‑Damping Suspension
Designed for long‑distance towing, the Digger Plant trailer uses proven suspension technology that delivers a stable, smooth ride — even when fully loaded. This reduces wear on both the trailer and towing vehicle.
6. Universal Bucket Rest & Long Drawbar
A universal bucket rest comes as standard, along with a long drawbar that provides ample space for digger arms and attachments. This improves balance and weight distribution during transport.
Optional Extras for Enhanced Functionality
Brian James Trailers offers a wide range of optional extras, allowing operators to tailor the trailer to their exact needs:
-
Electric Winch (2041kg capacity) — ideal for non‑running machinery
-
Bucket Locker — secure storage for buckets and attachments
-
Digger Arm Lock — heavy‑duty locking pin for securing the arm and bucket
-
Machine Stop Bar — reliable stop point for tracked machinery
-
Chapter 8 Chevrons — for roadside compliance
-
Wheel Safety Indicators — combined nut indicator and retainer
These options make the Digger Plant trailer one of the most adaptable plant trailers on the market.
Built for Safety, Efficiency and Long‑Term Value
Every detail of the Digger Plant trailer is engineered to reduce downtime and increase operator confidence:
-
Robust steel mudguards and high‑grip side steps for safe access
-
Heavy‑duty jockey wheel with anti‑vibration latch
-
Silent‑lock tail ramp clamps with rubber damping for quiet travel
-
50mm ball coupling with security lock
These features combine to deliver a trailer that is not only strong and reliable, but also easy and safe to use day after day.
