Shop trailer buffers at Truckstop Group
Rubber buffers are fitted at points on a trailer most likely to take repeated low-speed impact, typically the rear corners and sometimes along the sides, absorbing knocks from loading dock manoeuvres, kerb contact and coupling operations that would otherwise mark or damage the trailer body directly.
As the sole UK distributor for Chereau trailer parts, Truckstop Group stocks genuine replacement buffers sized and shaped for Chereau trailers, which use specific mounting points that don't always match generic aftermarket buffers designed for a broader range of trailer types.
Buffers perish and crack over time with UV exposure and repeated impact, eventually losing the flexibility that lets them absorb a knock rather than transmit it to the chassis. A hardened or cracked buffer should be replaced before it stops doing its job effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do trailer buffers actually protect against?
Buffers absorb low-speed impacts from loading dock manoeuvres, kerb contact and coupling operations, protecting the trailer body and chassis from repeated knocks that would otherwise cause visible damage over time.
How do I know if a trailer buffer needs replacing?
Look for cracking, hardening or visible perishing of the rubber. A buffer that has lost its flexibility can no longer absorb an impact effectively and is more likely to crack further or detach.
Does Truckstop Group stock genuine Chereau buffers?
Yes. We're the sole UK distributor for Chereau trailer parts, and stock genuine replacement buffers sized for Chereau trailer mounting points, which differ from generic aftermarket options.
