I was in South Africa last year and earlier this year. During the Christmas holiday season I noticed the large number of cars pulling a small enclosed type of trailer. I gather the biggest maker of these is Venter Trailers, but there are also trailers from other makers available.
One of these small trailers would seem to be ideal for pilots who have to do a rotation by road or who move fairly often between contract or seasonal jobs. On looking around since returning to Canada I find that there does not seem to be a readily available equivalent. There are plenty of open trailers for carrying landscape equipment, snowmobiles, quads, etc. There are larger enclosed trailers of the type that can be hired from U-haul. There are plenty of boat trailers and caravans. However, there does not seem to be much available in the smaller size of enclosed trailer that Venter Trailers and others have made so popular overseas. The Venter Trailers website mentions plenty of dealers in Southern Africa but none in North America.
Is anyone able to suggest where a Venter type of trailer may be obtained in Canada, preferably in Alberta, and the model and manufacturer names?
