• Don-Bur is launching a major onslaught on the trailer contract maintenance market under the Trailercare banner. it's set up Trailercare depots at Bel'shill, not far from Glasgow, and Stoke-on-Trent; is about to open at Northampton, and has plans for branches at Leeds and Bristol.
Catering for all makes of trailer, each Trailercare branch carries more than £100,000 worth of spares, and workshop facilities include a rolling road. The aim is to run at least four fullyequipped service vans from each location which will visit customers' premises," says commercial manager Phil Baker.
Baker believes contract maintenance is becoming more popular as operators close their workshops and put their servicing out. Letting truck dealers look after your trailers may not be costeffective, however, because their labour rates are geared to vehicle maintenance technicians, and that makes them higher than Trailercare's rates.
