Genuine Parts in New Zealand

At Ifor Williams Trailers, we prioritise your safety and the reliability of your trailer. For this reason, we strongly recommend using only Genuine Parts. These parts are the exact same high-quality components used in our trailer construction, ensuring optimal performance and peace of mind for you and other road users.

To make Genuine Parts readily accessible in New Zealand, we carefully pack them within our trailers during shipment. This approach reduces unnecessary environmental impact and helps minimise transport costs, meaning our parts are competitively priced and offer exceptional value for money.

In 2023, Ifor Williams Trailers invested £12 million in Boundary Park 1 to enhance the availability of Genuine Parts worldwide. This strategic investment ensures that our Approved Distributor network, including those in New Zealand, can efficiently meet customer needs.

Our Approved Distributors in New Zealand are equipped to source any Genuine Ifor Williams Trailers part. For urgent requirements, we can courier parts directly to New Zealand. Please note that courier and customs charges will apply.

By insisting on the fitment of Genuine Parts, you can ensure the safety, durability and reliability of your Ifor Williams trailer - making every journey as safe and secure as possible.

Identifying Genuine Parts

Genuine Ifor Williams Trailers (IWT) parts are available directly through our network of Approved Distributors in New Zealand. As an ever-increasing number of non-genuine parts enter markets worldwide, we’re committed to helping you confidently identify and choose authentic replacements to keep you safe on the road. Genuine parts match the quality and rigorous testing standards of those used across our North Wales production lines, ensuring optimal performance and safety for years to come.

Non-genuine parts can compromise quality, lead to premature failures and increase repair costs. Protect your investment by always choosing OEM parts for assured reliability and longevity. Look for genuine IWT packaging and logos stamped into the parts themselves and report any suspicious sellers to help us safeguard quality.

Wheels and Tyres

Wheels and Tyres

Our commitment to performance and durability extends to every wheel and tyre in the Ifor Williams Trailers range. Each Genuine IWT Wheel Assembly, Centre and Tyre undergoes rigorous selection and testing to meet all current road regulations.

Designed to excel on diverse terrains, these OEM wheels ensure a smooth and reliable towing experience. Tested at leading UK facilities, they deliver the strength and stability needed for safe and efficient operation in all conditions. Trust in our high-quality wheels to keep your trailer performing at its best, every time you tow.

Leaf Springs

Ifor Williams Trailers’ exceptional towability and ride quality are built on the unique performance of our Paraflex leaf spring suspension system. Designed with a focus on shock damping, durability and longevity, our Paraflex springs deliver dynamic performance for all load situations, ensuring the safety and comfort you expect from an IWT trailer.

Rigorous testing shows that Genuine Paraflex Springs outperform non-genuine alternatives by 150%, providing longer-lasting, more reliable suspension. While non-genuine parts may look similar, they lack the quality and lifespan of our OEM springs, making Genuine Paraflex Springs a smarter, more sustainable choice.

Lights

Safe towing starts with dependable, high-quality lighting. Genuine Ifor Williams Trailers (IWT) OEM Lights are meticulously tested to ensure your trailer is clearly visible and fully compliant with NZ lighting standards and road regulations.

Each model in the IWT range is equipped with lights specifically designed and tested for its unique requirements, ensuring optimal compatibility and performance. Unlike non-OEM alternatives, Genuine IWT Lights come with the assurance of rigorous quality testing, giving you peace of mind during every journey.

Hubs

Hub assemblies are crucial to the towing performance and safety of your Ifor Williams Trailer. Each Genuine IWT Hub Kit includes a precision CNC-machined Brake Drum with an integral OEM Bearing, retaining Circlip, Stake Nut, and reinforced injection-moulded Hub Cap.

Manufactured exclusively by IWT under ISO 9001 standards and audited by the British Standards Institute, our hubs deliver consistent quality and reliability. Non-genuine hubs, with poor machining quality, can cause vibrations, uneven braking, and excessive brake wear, compromising safety.

Hub Caps

Hub Caps

Designed in-house at Ifor Williams Trailers - and fitted to all our braked trailers since 1996 - our Genuine Hub Caps are built to withstand the toughest conditions worldwide. Developed through rigorous testing, these hub caps are crafted from a specialised material formulation to ensure a secure fit and protect the wheel bearing from contaminants that could compromise performance.

A damaged or missing hub cap can expose critical components to unnecessary wear. Replacing it promptly with a Genuine IWT Hub Cap ensures optimal performance and longevity for your trailer.

Look for the distinctive Ifor Williams logo embossed on the cap to guarantee authenticity and quality.

Bearings

At Ifor Williams Trailers, our bearings are developed in collaboration with Tier 1 automotive-approved OEMs to deliver exceptional performance and reliability. Meticulously engineered to optimize the interaction between the hub and bearing, these components ensure smooth, dependable operation for your trailer.

As safety-critical parts, Genuine IWT Bearings undergo rigorous testing to meet stringent quality standards. Proven since 1992, they are trusted in thousands of trailers worldwide for their durability and excellence.

Non-genuine bearings may appear similar but often lack the precision, material quality, and integrity of Genuine IWT Bearings. Choose IWT Genuine Parts to guarantee unmatched reliability, safety, and peace of mind on the road.
