All About Western Cape Trailers

Since opening its doors in 2015, Western Cape Trailers has grown from a small Cape Town workshop into one of South Africa’s most trusted names in custom trailer manufacturing.

Founded by husband-and-wife team Chris and Leigh-Anne Louwrens, the business was built on a clear mission — to deliver safe, durable, and functional trailers that help South Africans move forward. Ten years later, that promise continues to guide every build.

Located in Montague Gardens, with easy access to major highways in and out of Cape Town, Western Cape Trailers proudly serves clients across South Africa and neighboring countries. Over the past decade, we’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and established businesses take their ventures on the road — from start-up food vendors to corporate fleets and brand solutions, and even mobile medical clinics serving communities across Southern Africa.

We’re passionate about quality craftsmanship and continuous improvement. Having evolved from the early days of building with thin chromatic sheets to today’s use of elegant 40mm insulated refrigeration type panels on all our premium trailers. We continue to raise the standard for strength, safety, and modern design. Every WCT trailer is built with care, skill, and precision — and our team treats each one as if it were their own.

Our expertise extends beyond the workshop. With hands-on experience in the mobile food trade, we understand what operators truly need: reliability, compliance with local health regulations, and a trailer that looks as good as it performs. That insight ensures every WCT build is practical, inspection-ready, and purpose-built for real-world conditions.

We are proud to have partnered with leading brands and organisations such as NSRI, Bacini’s Ristorante, The Animal Rescue Organisation, Tellumat, Titanium Television, Hillsong Church, Columbia, and Adidas — proving that great quality doesn’t have to come at a premium price.

All Western Cape Trailers conform to SABS standards and local health regulations. Our customers are invited and always welcome to visit our Montague Gardens factory, meet the team, and see the craftsmanship behind each build in person.

After a decade of growth, the founding motto remains their guiding star: “Committed to Quality. Committed to You.” That’s the Western Cape Trailers way.
