Operating your own roadshow can be the most cost effective promotional activity that you can undertake.  It enables you to target exactly where you wish to go and very much targets who you wish to meet. Freeway roadshow trailers are used in a variety of ways and for a multitude of purposes.  They are used by charities, public services, business to business and consumer organisations.

The trailers can be small or large and the roadshow itself may be a week long or a year long.  For short sharp roadshow activity we would normally recommend that you rent a hire trailer from us.  Where the roadshow is to be used longer term then buying a new trailer or refurbishing a second hand trailer is going to be the better financial option.

Choice of trailer will very much depend upon what you need to do on board so that a small information type campaign may warrant only a 4 metre trailer whilst the need to show heavy equipment or accommodate audiences of 50 or more will naturally necessitate a larger trailer type such as an articulated trailer with extensions.

To comply with disability discrimination requirements we offer ramps or wheelchair lifts as part of the overall design. Once inside we also take into account the needs of those with impairments of vision or hearing by the use of specialist lighting and hearing loops.

Many roadshow campaigns, unlike attendance at set exhibitions are, by their very nature, on going day after day operations and sometimes even 7 days a week. For this reason we endeavour to construct our roadshow trailers in such a way as to make them as easy as possible to set up and take down.  For the larger and more complex road show trailer we generally incorporate hydraulics, which can be either manually pumped or, for even greater speed, controlled by a hand set and powered by electrics. In this way it is possible to enable the set up to be undertaken by just one person.....which is good for speed and does of course keep costs down to just one person.

As a road show trailer is often operating in isolation either in a town centre, a client’s car park or similar location it will invariably require its own power source so even on the smaller trailers we tend to assume the need for built in on board silent generators.  These normally range in size from 3 to 7 kva, but will on occasion need to be considerably larger.
