Buying, Selling & Refurbishing Trailers in Peterborough
What to do with old, damaged, or unwanted trailers
Across Peterborough and the surrounding areas, there are thousands of trailers sitting in yards, fields, and workshops that are no longer being used. Some are damaged, some are worn out, and others are simply no longer needed. At Vines Engineering & Sales, we specialise in buying, inspecting, refurbishing, and selling trailers in Peterborough, giving old trailers a second life where possible.
Whether you’re looking to sell a trailer, buy a refurbished unit, or understand what makes a trailer worth repairing, having a specialist involved makes all the difference.
Buying Trailers in Peterborough
We regularly buy trailers in Peterborough, including:
Used trailers
Damaged or broken trailers
Agricultural and yard trailers
Trade trailers
End-of-life or scrap trailers
Many owners don’t realise their trailer still has value, even if it’s not road-ready. Structural trailers with sound frames can often be repaired, reinforced, and refurbished safely.
We offer a straightforward purchase process with honest valuations and cash waiting, saving sellers the hassle of online listings and timewasters.
When Is a Trailer Worth Refurbishing?
Not every trailer should be converted or over-engineered. In many cases, keeping a trailer in its original format — particularly agricultural or ring-hitch trailers — is the safest and most practical option.
A trailer is usually worth refurbishing if:
The main chassis and drawbar are sound
Axles and hubs are serviceable
Welds can be repaired or reinforced
The floor can be repaired or replaced
At Vines Engineering & Sales, we inspect trailers thoroughly before deciding the best route forward.
Trailer Refurbishment in Peterborough
Our trailer refurbishment services focus on safety, strength, and honest use cases. Typical refurbishment work includes:
Welding and structural repairs
Reinforcing weak or cracked areas
Hub and bearing servicing
Tyre replacement where required
Rust treatment, sanding, and repainting
We refurbish trailers for agricultural, yard, trade, and off-road use, and we are clear and transparent about how each trailer should be used.
Selling Inspected & Refurbished Trailers
We also sell refurbished trailers in Peterborough, all of which are:
Inspected in-house
Repaired where necessary
Prepared honestly for their intended use
Cleaned and presented properly
This approach gives buyers confidence and ensures trailers are sold responsibly, not misrepresented.
Why Use a Trailer Specialist?
General garages often avoid trailers altogether. As specialists, we understand:
How trailers fail
Where stress points develop
What repairs are worth doing
When a trailer should be sold as-is
That knowledge protects both buyers and sellers and keeps trailers safer in yards and on sites across Peterborough.
