Trailers That Stand the Test of TimeBuilt on Experience
For more than 25 years, Surtees Trailers has been manufacturing trailers with a focus on quality workmanship, practical design and long-term durability.
Previously operating as EPIC Trailers, we’re now back under the Surtees Trailers name – with the same experienced team and commitment to building trailers that are made for the job.
From boats and vehicles to machinery, motorcycles, farm equipment and specialist loads, we build trailers around what our customers actually need.
Why Choose Surtees?
Whatever you need to move, we can help you find or build a trailer for the job.
25+ Years' Experience
Decades of hands-on trailer-building experience go into every trailer we manufacture.
Built for New Zealand
Our trailers are designed with New Zealand conditions and lifestyles in mind, using galvanised construction for increased protection against rust and corrosion.
Fully Welded for Strength
Our trailers are manufactured in our workshop and fully welded to provide the strength and durability needed for the job.
Built Around You
From our boat trailer range to one-off custom builds, we’ll work with you to create the right trailer for what you need to move.
More Than an Off-the-Shelf Trailer
Built for the way you use it.
Not every job is the same, and neither is every trailer.
We manufacture trailers for a wide range of applications, including boats, vehicles, performance cars, motorcycles, machinery, trades, farms, bikes and specialist custom applications.
Whether you know exactly what you need or need some advice on the best setup, our team can help you find the right solution.
Here’s what our customers say
Built Around the Boat
“Absolutely love the trailer, much better than the old trailer it was on. Boat comes on and off well and sits slightly lower which makes everything better.
The ability to shove the hose into every section of the box steel is great too, as you know you’ve washed everything you can and it’s easy to do.
As the trailer is custom designed for the hull, we can winch the boat straight on whether it’s dry, at a steep boat ramp or a shallow angle, without the chines hitting the rollers. This was an issue on the previous trailer.
Options like adding trailer poles make the trailer a perfect fit for the Surtees hulls.”
Strong & easy to tow
“In 1999, I bought my first trailer from Gary. After seeing for myself the drive on/drive off launch and retrieve catch, there was no need to shop around. It’s easy to use so loading and unloading is no problem if you’re in a hurry on a busy boat ramp.
I now own a 6.7 Surtees so I have upgraded to a bigger trailer. Their trailers are super stable, strong and so easy to tow. I would definitely recommend these trailers to anyone, whether they’re a beginner or experienced boatman.”
Custom Built For The Job
“Brilliant race car trailer, custom-built which I took delivery of 3 weeks ago. Gary was very receptive to my needs and they have produced a trailer perfectly matched to my requirements.
A breeze to load and unload with many tie down options.
Great quality. Tows like it’s not there! Thanks guys.”
Nothing was too much trouble
“Just a note to say how great it was to deal with Epic Trailers. From the time I arrived I was made welcome, even though you were off at lunch.
Nothing was too much trouble and the service was great. I am a happy owner of a new trailer made even better than the last one. Cheers and thanks.”
