Indespension – other trailers: collective page of the British maker from Bolton outside the named ranges, with the Roller Coaster car-transporter family, 860 to 3,900 kg gross weight
This page gathers Indespension trailers that the register could not assign to a named range. The British company from Bolton was founded in 1968 and was the first British maker of its own trailer axle units before expanding into complete trailers for trade and leisure use; today Indespension runs a nationwide branch network for sales, hire and trailer servicing. Among its best-known ranges is the Roller Coaster family of tilt-bed car transporters, whose number suffix usually gives the payload in tonnes – for example Roller Coaster 5 or 8.5.

The register lists here 72 versions with unladen weights from 300 to 1,647 kg, gross weights from 860 to 3,900 kg, lengths from 3,680 to 9,067 mm and widths from 1,770 to 2,500 mm.
Indespension serves above all the British market for small and trade trailers, competing there with brands such as Ifor Williams and Brian James Trailers; the Roller Coaster range with its tilting bed is designed specifically for transporting small cars and classic cars on single-axle trailers without ramps.
When buying used, what counts is the condition of the bed and its tilt mechanism on the car transporters, the condition of the axle, braking system and lighting, corrosion on the frame and drawbar, and the function of the lashing points. Spare parts for axles, brakes and lighting are available through the Indespension branch network and the general British trailer parts trade.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
