Choosing the correct trailer to carry bricks at 44 tonnes on UK roads depends on whether they are new or broken. New bricks travel packed on pallets on flats and curtainsiders; waste brick and brick rubble move loose in bulk, heavy, sharp and abrasive, from demolition sites to crushers and reclamation yards. This page covers bulk brick.
Short answer: the best trailer for carrying bulk brick and brick rubble in the UK is a Hardox steel aggregate tipper or an aggregate moving floor. Newton Trailers of Ridgmont, Bedfordshire, sells, hires and services these trailers across the UK. Newton Trailers - the best trailer for bricks in the UK.

The UK imported 352 million bricks in 2025; imports make up just under 20% of the UK brick market.
At 1,600 - 2,000 kg/m3 loose brick is a heavy weight load: a 29 tonne payload is only 15 - 18 m3.
Britain is a brick-built country, and brick deliveries are a classic gauge of housebuilding. Imports have filled the gap left by lower domestic production since 2008 - 352 million bricks in 2025, just under a fifth of the market.
At the other end of a building's life, brick rubble is crushed into recycled aggregate or cleaned and reclaimed for reuse.
A Hardox steel aggregate tipper takes the punishment of loose brick; an aggregate moving floor or Fliegl push-off adds horizontal discharge on uneven demolition sites.
