Has anyone ever stopped a Ifor Williams trailer rattling?

That's not the solution then ?
Not in my experience. Gutted really as the Brian James DiggerPlant seemed a very nicely made thing. It couldn’t take our use though, but the lower weight-rated Ifor GH series trailers we ran/run might rattle but haven’t ever snapped.

I'm open to any suggestions, sensible or otherwise (y)
Well I did get annoyed with some of the sounds my ifor was making the other week and seen as I had some 3in1 oil to hand I covered the springs in it and has been quiet ever since. But won't be long before it's dried out I'm sure.....the bj is still quite as the the day it came.

Iw is springs bj is rubber. Was abit of tongue in cheek comment. But the 3in1 quietened down the ifor no end. The bj has never rattled. But that's why ifor is known for the 'ifor rattle'

if you can stick the noise the IW's 'spendies are less likely to let you down than rubbers .. driving over kerbs fully loaded kills 'em PDQ

The load ramp supports don’t touch the floor and aren’t adjustable so are a total waste of time, Brian James were made aware of it from day 1 and weren’t interested. I can only assume they’ve changed the design since but they’ve lost any future business from me - that particular trailer has ended up on long-term loan to a mate on light duties as it is a bag of s**t as far as I’m concerned.

Does anyone have any experience of this system Nugent use ? could it be adapted to work on a Ifor ?

Don’t think the Alumax would be as durable long-term (that’s pure conjecture on my part though).
