Tradesman Trailer Tie Rail End Cap
Spares support for older Tradesman Trailer products is patchy at best. Reproducing the tie rail end cap locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Rail end caps split and edges get sharp. Vibration fatigue does the damage: thousands of small flexes add up to a crack at the stress point, usually right where the part clips or pivots.
How we reproduce them
Reproducing one is straightforward for us: we measure your sample (broken is fine, as long as most of it is there), match the profile, and print in a tougher modern material. Turnaround is usually within the week.
We print these in ASA. ASA is the UV-stable cousin of ABS — it holds its colour and strength through years of Australian sun where the original plastic went chalky and brittle.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
