About Buffalo Trailers
We Build Trailers. But What We Really Build Is Capability.
NSM Investments3 (Pty) Ltd t/a Buffalo Trailers is a South African trailer manufacturer helping individuals and businesses solve practical transport problems through trailer manufacturing, custom builds, rentals, repairs and servicing.
Transport solutions, not just fabrication
Start with the job. Then build the trailer.
A trailer is rarely the customer's final goal. The real requirement is moving equipment, materials, vehicles, water, luggage or something specialised. That is why our approach starts with understanding what the customer needs to accomplish.
Rather than simply asking which trailer a customer wants, we consider what needs to be transported, the intended application, approximate load and towing requirements.
From there, Buffalo can help identify an appropriate standard trailer or discuss a custom-built solution where the requirement falls outside the standard range.

Customer Support
Our relationship does not end when the trailer leaves. Customers can return to Buffalo for servicing, repairs, modifications and practical advice.
Our approach
Your load. Your work. Your trailer.
Our aim is not simply to manufacture another trailer. It is to provide a trailer that makes sense for what the customer actually needs to transport.
01 — Understand
What do you need to move?
We start with the load, application and how the trailer will actually be used.
02 — Configure
Match the trailer to the job.
Size, axle configuration, load capacity, braking and features are considered around the requirement.
03 — Build
Turn the requirement into capability.
The result is a practical trailer solution built around what the customer needs to accomplish.
