Bailey task masters

Bailey is currently the biggest trailer manufacturers in the UK. Since moving to a purpose built factory in Sleaford in 2010, output increased to over 1400 in 2015 and they continue to expand.

B

esides an ongoing programme of modern plant, the company has invested in computerised
production planning with the promise that the date you are told, will be the date you receive delivery of your new trailer.
Offering the widest choice of grain and beet models up to 24
tons, Bailey have also developed many specialist trailers for root
crop, silage and bale haulage and have pioneered various safety features including high efficiency braking options, LED lights and hi’ vis’ strips. Now they have moved to side ladders on their grain and root trailers for additional operator safety.
Bailey Trailers believe that every task has its specific requirements and meet these through intelligent design and advanced engineering.
All their grain and root models over 12 tonnes are fitted with commercial axles which provide the 50 % braking efficiency required by the European Union. Smaller models can be fitted with the same as an optional extra. Air brakes are an increasingly popular option on the larger trailers.

Whilst most Bailey silage trailers are ordered for the specific purpose of carting silage or biomass, silage kits are available to fit most Bailey trailers up to 22 ton capacity. The one-piece lift-off kit means that, with the aid of a forklift, you can convert from grass to grain in minutes.
Bale trailers are available in a choice of formats, as are heavy duty low loaders.
Bailey’ s 2000 litre dual fuel bowser incorporates an Adblue tank, increasingly required for big kit working away from its home base.
New models for 2016 will include a range of ejector trailers. These and other Bailey trailers can be seen on the Bailey Stand 1011 at Cereals.
