Marshall Trailers
Agricultural machinery manufacturer producing a range of trailers, spreaders and tankers. Built for today, driven by tomorrow.
Charles J Marshall (Aberdeen) Ltd was founded in 1952 by Charles J Marshall. By 1956 the first part of the present factory building was completed, named Chapel Works, and it gave Charles the ability to create the relatively new concept of a production line. Then as today, Charles invested heavily in his business and purchased vast stocks of steel and other components. This gave him the added advantage of being able to buy at very competitive prices and so produce a more cost effective trailer. Production output had also rocketed up from a mere 46 units built in 1952 to supplying well over 1,600 units per year by the mid-sixties. Rotary spreaders and slurry tankers were added to the product line in the 1980s and Chapel Works was producing over 2,000 machines a year. In 1982 the bright new talent of Charles Richard Marshall started his apprenticeship within the firm, taking up his present position as managing director in 1998. In 2012 the company welcomed the third generation into the fold - grandsons Charles Peter and brother David. Today we are still proud of our original premises and continue to invest annually to ensure we stay ahead of our competition. We predominantly use robot welders, CNC plasma cutters and presses alongside recently installing a huge state-of-the-art shot blasting and paint facility. The entire business and production process is controlled by bespoke SAP software giving us insights and data to enable constant improvements. Combining all these factors enables us to offer the highest levels of product consistency, quality, dependability and value to our customers at every turn. We now produce on average 46 units per week (a years production in 1952!). Marshall machines are sold throughout the world and we can proudly claim to be the UK’s oldest and largest trailer manufacturer.
2022 is yet another milestone in the history of our company as we celebrate 70 years in the business. Perhaps what is more remarkable is the fact that we are still owned and operated by the same hard working, approachable family; we’re still as utterly passionate about the business and the machines we produce for our customers as we were back in 1952.

Take a look at these images supplied by one of our customers, showing how they are getting dual-purpose use out of their Marshall trailer. By using their new LL-26-TAN beaver tail low loader to bring in a tidy load of silage.
Fitted with front harvest ladders, it’s also been finished in Maserati Blue to match their Blue Power New Holland tractor.
So, when you’re looking to get more out of your machine, talk to us or ask your dealer for a Marshall.

Following the success of our Beaver Tail Low Loaders launched last year, we’ve expanded the range with our NEW Drop Deck Low Loader. Designed for versatility, easy loading and performance, the LL-20-DD is built to handle machinery and materials across both agricultural and construction sectors.
Key features include:
- 8-tonne capacity, ideal for transporting telehandlers, midi diggers & other machinery.
- 20’ x 8’2” chequer plate bed providing a large, practical loading area.
- 8-stud 385/65 R22.5 super singles with hydraulic brakes.
- Versatile ramps for front or side loading, including smaller-wheeled equipment.

It’s also useful for tall loads, reducing the risk of snagging low bridges, branches or shed roofs during transport.
On construction sites, the ground-level loading height makes it perfect for moving generators, site cabins and other equipment without the need for access steps and guard rails. And ideal for transporting forklifts, scissor lifts and cherry pickers, plus moving heavy materials including concrete panels, pipes and beams, keeping the load close to ground level.

We know that bale carting can easily become one of the most labour-intensive and time-consuming jobs of the season, so the more efficiently you can move each load, the sooner you can get on with the next task.
That's where the Marshall Easy Secure system comes into its own. Designed to maximise productivity while keeping loading and unloading simple and safe, the 3.1m (3-high) Easy Secure system allows you to move more bales in fewer journeys - without any ratchet straps slowing you down.
Available across the Marshall BC range from 12-tonne models upwards, loads are secured in seconds without a single strap, and the simple release the system helps unloading back at the yard. Minimising time spent undoing and rewinding ratchets, giving you more time clearing fields.
The Easy Secure system also offers a number of practical advantages over conventional steel frame designs. Its lighter construction allows greater payload capacity, while the larger contact area provides excellent load security and is kinder to wrapped silage bales, reducing the risk of damage in transit.
It also allows the trailer to be uncoupled and loaded using the towing tractor, making genuine one-man, one-machine operation possible. The result is improved labour efficiency, reduced fuel consumption and better utilisation of your machinery throughout the day.
When the fields are full of bales, leave the ratchet straps behind. Hitch up a Marshall Easy Secure bale trailer and turn bale carting into a faster, safer and easier operation. To find out more about the Marshall 3.1m (3-high) or 2.3m (2-high) Easy Secure systems, get in touch with us or ask your dealer for a Marshall.

We think we've found a clear winner from RWS 2026!
Check out this inspired design! Brilliantly conceived, expertly executed and a great example of some fantastic lateral thinking. We absolutely love it.
Well done to everyone involved... and to whoever stacked those tidy silage bales in the background.

If you’ve been tuned into the latest series of Clarkson’s Farm, you’ll have noticed Jeremy & the team putting an AgBot through its paces as it cultivated his fields.
Coincidentally, David Marshall recently attended the Borgeby Fältdagar Agricultural Machinery show in Sweden with one of our local dealers. While at the show a customer purchased a Marshall LL-26-TAN Low Loader to transport his new AgBot and 6-furrow plough between fields.
Built for versatility, so you don’t need to sneak your AgBot over the road, our Low Loader capacities range from 16 to 21-tonnes and feature a hydraulic beaver tail that can lift 6-tonnes on its own. The low bed height makes loading machinery safer and easier, plus sprung drawbars, 10-stud commercial axles and suspension provide for a more stable, secure ride on the road.
More than just for hauling machinery, you can also fit harvest ladders to make an excellent bale trailer or add livestock boxes for further versatility.
So, for a tough, multi-use machine that’s as dependable as it is innovative, check out our Low Loader range of trailers by getting in touch with us or asking your dealer for a Marshall.

Take a look at these smart LL-26-TAN low loaders, finished in Marshall Blue and recently supplied by our dealer, Riverlea.
With a 16-tonne carrying capacity and a 6-tonne beaver tail lift, allowing the trailer to convert into a full 26-foot flatbed, these trailers are built to do far more than just move machinery. To maximise their versatility, they have also been fitted with front and rear harvest ladders, enabling them to double as bale trailers and deliver even greater value from a single investment.
Those with a keen eye will spot that the customer specified two different styles of harvest ladder. The straight ladder is ideal for transporting square bales or round bales in cans, while the angled ladder is designed for carrying round bales on the round. We also offer a straight round bar rear ladder, which many customers prefer for its safer loading and unloading of wrapped round bales. All interchangeable in minutes.
So, if you're looking to get more from your machinery fleet with a trailer that's designed to tackle multiple jobs, talk to us or ask your dealer for a Marshall.
