The purpose-built trailer, which when fully opened measures over nine metres in length features a suite of demo products from the company’s collection of SeceuroGlide roller and sectional garage doors. Additionally, smaller displays from the SeceuroShield shutter and retractable gate range can also be viewed and demonstrated. Powered by an externally sourced generator, all products within the trailer are fully operational, giving potential customers the opportunity to get hands-on with the products, even if they are in a field in the middle of nowhere! Boasting stunning new vinyl graphics, the entire show trailer is covered in attention-grabbing images and detailed point of sale, which is certain to stand out at even the busiest of events. Equipped with ample storage, users of the unit can also neatly store brochures or other marketing materials ensuring the trailer is always presentable. The newly refurbished trailer had its debut when SWS UK distributor Shutter Spec Security exhibited at this year’s Thame Country Show. Shutter Spec Security’s Managing Director Andrew Levick commented on his experience of using the trailer at the event. “The ability to hire out the show trailer from SWS UK has proven to be a real benefit in promoting our own business within the local community and beyond. Visitors at the country show were pleasantly surprised with the trailer and were delighted that they could see the doors in operation. Exhibiting with such presence proved to be a great opportunity to meet potential customers face to face and having the SWS UK products on display allowed the quality to speak for itself. We found that many customers were so impressed that they booked a survey there and then. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the SWS show trailer and will certainly be hiring it for future events.” Available to hire all year round, SWS UK offer a delivery, set-up and collection service and ensure that all exhibitors are confident with operating all elements within the trailer.
