Trailer production as one of the start-up options
In trying to create their own startup, many come to a standstill on initial stage– search interesting ideas. One of the attractive options is the production of trailers. This niche in the market is not yet oversaturated and a novice entrepreneur will feel comfortable in it, subject to a number of rules, which will be discussed below.
Brief business analysis:
Business setup costs:1.2 - 1.6 million rubles
Relevant for cities with a population: from 50 thousand
Situation in the industry:manufacturing industry is developed
The complexity of organizing a business: 3/5
Payback: 8 - 12 months
Where to begin
Making trailers for cars is one of the cost-effective business options with the right approach. At the same time, earnings can be received not only from production, but also from further Maintenance trailers and semi-trailers. It will also give a tangible profit even during the absence of the necessary materials. Therefore, it is not necessary to start with production. Repair will help to get start-up capital, which can be invested in the development of production capacities.
What is required first
If you go in order, then the first thing you need when creating your own business, regardless of whether it is repair or production, is the premises. After all, collecting a trailer at the customer’s site is not an option at all. The presence of our own production area, where the production of semi-trailers, trailers or spare parts for them will take place, is a definite plus. Here, maintenance and service of the units can also be carried out.
If you do not have your own premises, you can rent it, because. buying real estate at the initial stage of a startup is not always profitable. The floor area must be at least 50 square meters. Ideally, if it is a large garage or hangar, where you can work simultaneously on 2 or 3 pieces of equipment. The room will also require additional space for tools and auxiliary equipment. Without suitable premises there is no point in starting a business. Trailer assembly is not a seasonal income, despite the frequency of demand.
The price of real estate depends on many factors, in particular, the location and usable area, and other factors that often depend on the landlord. A room in the city will naturally differ in price from one located on the outskirts or in the suburbs. If you wish, you can find a non-modern building, for example, a warehouse from the times of the USSR, repair it and save a lot of money.
Without which it is impossible to start work
The next necessary element is equipment for assembling trailers. Without it, it is impossible to start work, because. with bare hands it will be possible to assemble only some spare parts. You can try to find the bulk of the tools from your own stocks. It can be:
- screwdrivers;
- keys;
- hammers;
- drill.
If you try to buy everything at once, such trifles add up to a round sum of up to $ 1,000. But it's not just the little things that matter.
A welding machine will be indispensable in production. He must be good quality. average price for such equipment can reach $ 500. In addition to it, you will need a high-quality grinder that costs about $ 300 and a drill, preferably an electric one, of a similar cost. Do not forget about consumables required to use the tool. These are electrodes, grinding discs and everything else that craftsmen may need, which, by the way, need to be found.
Raw materials for production can be purchased after the premises and equipment are ready. Most of the necessary auxiliary materials can be found in the car markets from wholesale suppliers or ordered in online stores directly from the spare parts manufacturer. The basis of the product, which is usually metal, can be made from recycled materials after it has been reanimated. Partially, its purchase can be carried out from scrap metal buyers or at the bases of building and other materials. To understand what exactly will become the future raw materials, staff who are familiar with the manufacturing technology will help.
How to find staff
You can work independently only at the first stages of the business, but in the future it will be simply too laborious to carry out production and manage the enterprise, so you will definitely need an assistant. They can become an employee or a relative when organizing a family-type business. However, the acceleration of the pace and increase in capacity will lead to an increase in orders for manufactured products. Therefore, hired labor will be required sooner or later anyway.
Attracting a new master to production is a big responsibility, because. The success of a startup depends on how the work is carried out. Accordingly, the selection of masters and other personnel must be approached with particular care. Better if they are people with experience, professional quality which are beyond doubt. It should be noted that at high rates it is difficult to train employees from scratch. Therefore, attempts to start work by training employees may not be successful.
Losses in production can be the cause of unskilled labor, and they are completely useless when starting a trailer manufacturing business. The initial phase will require at least 1 highly qualified specialist who is already working, or has worked, with trailers in terms of production or maintenance. Paying for his work is also part of the costs, which will be pulled quite a lot. It is better to choose a piecework method of remuneration, because. It makes no sense to pay in shifts in production. So, the amount of the salary will not only be compensated for by the profits received, but will also be able to stimulate the assistant.
Where to find investors
All the costs described above will add up the bulk of the required investment. To them will also be added the cost of materials and operating expenses not related to production. Great if all required amount is available, but most often only a part of it is on hand. Therefore, it is necessary to look for investments. Part of the funds can be taken from the bank, however, the interest that you have to pay regularly will hit the startup budget hard. How to get a bank loan to start a business can be found at this link.
The payback of the project is a matter of time. If the whole process is implemented correctly, it will take up to 20 ready-made trailers to be sold to reach 0. Only after that, the startup will start to make a profit. Depending on the pace of production, this can happen according to various estimates within 4-6 months. Do not immediately release a large batch of trailers.
In the first month, it is desirable to release 1-2. After selling them, you can proceed to increase the batch. After the sale of the increased batch, the sale and production can be carried out simultaneously. Attracting new investments and proper organization process will help accelerate the growth of the enterprise and its development.
The most important
Sales of products - the most milestone. Without the possibility of marketing, a startup does not make sense, and will not be able to make a profit. For the sale of trailers, a platform for the demonstration of goods will be required. At the initial stage, there will be few models, but even they will have to be flaunted.
The demonstration site may be located on the production site. In parallel, you can exhibit goods on Internet sites. Quality goods will not stagnate in the warehouse finished products.
Underwater rocks
It is possible and necessary to independently promote a product, but marketing and advertising, nevertheless, provide much greater efficiency. Advertising costs can be minimal with a little effort. In order to start buying trailers, you need to spread information about them. It is not necessary to play commercials on local television. For a startup, promoting trailer ads in other media is enough.
They can be local radio stations and city newspapers. free ads. In some cases, you can place ads in them using improvised means - the Internet or phone. Using your own computer, you can make a simple video and post it on social networks. Advertising on the radio should be remembered by the buyer of the trailer, so scrolling should be quite frequent 3-4 times a day, at least for the first 2-3 months.
Trailers for cars a separate dream of many car owners. Thanks to a light trailer, an ordinary car turns into a small truck capable of transporting up to a ton of payload, of course, depending on the carrying capacity of the cart. And, as they say, if there is a demand for such devices, there will be offers from manufacturers. Many entrepreneurs have a business idea - production of light trailers. Consider the organization of such a business production in more detail.
Business - production of trailers for cars
The production of trailers itself is not difficult. It consists in the reliable assembly of prefabricated elements: wheels, drawbar, electrical wiring, chassis or suspension axle. Everything is going around, directly, the cargo body. The cargo body is welded according to a preliminary drawing from square pipes. The sides and floor are sheathed with any sheet material - from chipboard to galvanized metal sheet. Technically, such production can be organized in any garage by several locksmiths and welders. Even one person is able to assemble a normal light trailer with his own hands in 20-30 days.
However, the production of trailers itself is only a small part of this voluminous business. A light trailer manufacturing business cannot be considered as such if there are no certificates for your products. state standard(passports). And that's why.
A car light trailer is part of a vehicle, which means it must be approved for use on the roads common use. This admission is handled by the local traffic police, which has such powers. The trailer is registered as a new vehicle and receives numbers state registration. Therefore, the trailer must have documentary justification for obtaining state registration marks and documents. How to get them?
What is needed for state registration of homemade light trailers
It all comes down to two simple but very capacious steps.
1. Having assembled your own car trailer, you must contact the MREO traffic police at the place of residence. Where you will receive a referral to undergo an examination in a specialized accredited laboratory that carries out certification tests of specific types of products in the Certification System for motor vehicles and trailers. The examination is paid.
If you use ready-made parts, you may be asked to provide certificates for spare parts, assemblies and parts that are part of the trailer during the examination. Drawings and other documents may also be required, a list of which you can check with the traffic police or the laboratory. Certification is carried out only for new vehicles (components) put into circulation for the first time.
2. After successfully passing the examination, you will receive an examination certificate and a certificate of conformity for your transport device.
With this certificate, trailers of your production will be able to register with the traffic police without any problems.
The average cost of certification is 15-25 thousand rubles. The term is from 5 to 15 days.
The procedure described above concerns the registration of one homemade trailer. If you plan to produce 1-2 trailers per month, you can go through the certification procedure every time and pay 15-25 thousand rubles each time. But, when it comes to mass production, which you plan to open, it is desirable to minimize all bureaucracy. That is, exclude mandatory certification each of your homemade trailers. And to certify production completely. How to do it?
Certification of mass production of light vehicle trailers
AT Russian Federation and member countries of the Customs Union not allowed use of vehicle technology without OTTS - vehicle type approval. Therefore, for light trailers, it is also necessary to obtain OTTS. The category of these trailers in the certification system is O1. In this category, you will receive OTTS.
With a OTTS for your production of light trailers, you will complete each new product with a unique VIN number and a vehicle passport (PTS). The VIN must be applied in a reliable manner to the trailer frame. It could be a stamp laser engraving etc.
What a Trailer Manufacturer Needs to Get a VIN Number for a Trailer
1. It is necessary to collect a package of documents according to the following list:
- application of the established form;
- a technical description of the general nature of the trailer, a list of marked elements of the trailer: tires, headlights, coupling device, drawings, photographs;
- prepare specifications(TU) and trailer operation manual.
With these documents, you need to pass laboratory tests and certification, which we wrote about above. But, in this case, the pre-production product passes the test. Such studies will cost an order of magnitude more expensive.
2. After successful testing of the pre-production sample, you can go further. And re-assemble the package of documents. For mass production of light trailers and assignment of VIN codes to them with the issuance of a TCP, your production must have an international manufacturer code WMI. WMI can only be assigned to legal entities (LLC, JSC, etc.). To obtain an international code, you need:
- technical application for issuance of the WMI code of the manufacturer in category O1;
- technical description of your production (or voluntary QMS certification, Quality Management System) and specifications for your product;
- company charter;
- OGRN, TIN of the enterprise;
- other documents, the list of which you can check with the organization issuing WMI codes. As a rule, such an organization is universal. That is, it also conducts tests, registration on all counts and issues the relevant documents.
It should be remembered that OTTS is issued for a limited period (subsequent extension is possible). That is, as you understand, the production of car trailers is a serious business with an organization legal entity in the form of a small business. There can be no question of the production of trailers in a garage with the registration of an ordinary individual entrepreneur, which is usually described by sources of information other than the site.
There is also a limitation in the amount of production: a small enterprise cannot produce more than 500 trailers of the same type per year. To fully load your company and make a profit, you will have to produce several types of light trailers. That is, for each type it is necessary to receive OTTS. It is better to get it "wholesale", that is, to pass certification simultaneously with all products.
If you still want to open a light trailer business, but cannot get an OTTC for financial reasons, you can get self-made trailer certification every time. In this case, up to 25 thousand rubles will need to be deducted from your profit from the sale of such a trailer, which will eat up most of the final cost. finished product. Or explore other business ideas for the production of caravans.
1. Selling Documents to Franchise Manufacturers
A large firm receives OTTS for the production of trailers. And sells all the necessary franchise documents to those who want to legally produce car trailers, for example, like you do in your garage. Thus, a small-scale manufacturer can produce its trailers under the brand name of a large one, without going through certification procedures. Your garage production will allow you to assemble no more than 24 trailers per year, which is beneficial for both the brand owner and you. You save yourself from bureaucracy, the company unloads production. But, in this case, your production base must meet the requirements of the parent company.
2. Production of constructors with documents
Modern good trailers are quite expensive (40-100 thousand per trailer). They are characterized by reliability and high load capacity. Trailers are simpler - they are cheaper. But, in both the first and second cases, car owners often remake trailers to fit their needs. Because there is no limit to perfection. Strengthen the frame, remake the suspension and electrics. Therefore, some trailer manufacturers have taken an easier path.
They reduced the cost of the trailer to 10-14 thousand rubles, including only the frame and suspension. The result was the so-called trailer-constructor. Everything else to such a trailer adds already new owner. Despite the low cost, such a constructor has all the necessary documents for the hassle-free registration of the trailer with the traffic police.
The essence of this business idea is that you can buy out such constructors and make trailers based on them, again in the form garage business. And sell to everyone full-fledged trailers with documents from the designer.
A difficult option for implementing this business idea is to independently master the production of such constructors. But, you will definitely have to receive OTTS and undergo product certification, as described above.
Also, in addition to these serious types of business, there is another, less costly and affordable trailer business.
3. Business - repair of trailers for cars
Having a garage skillful hands and a simple tool, you can do car trailer repairs. There is a stable client in this niche. Like any equipment, trailers fail, break down, require modernization. The work is quite dirty and dusty, so most owners are willing to pay the master than to carry out repairs themselves. Replacing chain devices, replacing boards, straightening an axle or repairing shock absorbers - this is a small list of services provided.
Also, having got your hands on repairs, you can buy old and broken trailers on your own at a low cost. With one condition - the trailer must have all the documents. After the purchase, you will need to bring the repair, restore the trailer and sell it for a better price.
The advantage of such a business: you bypass all the trailer certification bureaucracy, that is, do not waste time, but work and make a profit.
4. Other business ideas related to the manufacture of light trailers
In addition to automobiles, there are other types of trailers - for ATVs, mini-tractors, walk-behind tractors and other equipment. The production of trailers for this equipment is less bureaucratic, many do not require certification (for example, a walk-behind tractor is not a vehicle), and demand is also high. And the prices for factory products are high, which also increases the demand for the services of a private trader.
About the fact that it is possible to make awnings for any trailed equipment from PVC fabric, we will keep silent. This is also a business. And quite profitable. But it also has many nuances, which we will consider in the following business ideas. Subscribe so you don't miss out!
Trailer production: requirements according to GOST + what kind of premises are needed + equipment for the production of trailers + selection of workers + profitability and additional services + profitability of production and expenses at the start.
Car business Since its inception, it has undergone several transformations. Now this sphere means the totality of everything connected with vehicles- starting from production car stickers ending with the production of gasoline and maintenance in service centers.
If you have been thinking about doing it, you should try your hand at a business such as the production of trailers for cars.
Today, thousands of car trailers can be seen on the roads of Russia. But are there many places where you can buy them?
According to statistics, this is one of the most low-competitive auto businesses in the Russian Federation. But with the growth in the number of cars, the demand for the production of trailers is also growing.
Statistics and dynamics of car trailer sales in Russia
If you are interested and planning to work in this direction, now is the best time to invest in the business. But, like any entrepreneurial undertaking, the production of light trailers has its pros, cons and special requirements. Let's take a look at them.
OST and GOST requirements for the production of trailers
Before proceeding with the manufacture of car trailers, it is worthwhile to carefully study what requirements must be observed in their production.
The legislation of the Russian Federation, in particular in the industry standard 37.001.220-93, specifies all necessary requirements to car trailers. For example, the total weight of the trailer must not exceed 50% of the curb weight of the vehicle. Trailers equipped with a brake system cannot weigh more than 1.8 tons.
The maximum loads that the vertical coupling mechanism of the autotrailer must experience are also clearly regulated:
- The minimum value should not be lower than 250 Newtons, the maximum - 1000 N.
- Be sure to have an emergency clutch mechanism - whether it be a cable or additional carabiners, coupling mechanisms.
- The drawbar of the trailer must be double-beam, the turn must be carried out within a radius of 160 °.
- The coupling mechanism must have a ground clearance of at least 24 cm.
Clear criteria are defined for the dimensions of each trailer. The height of any type of trailer should not exceed 3 meters, while without fail a ratio of height to track width of 1.8 to 1 must be observed, the maximum width of the trailer is 2.3 meters.
In this case, in technically justified cases, the trailer may have a height of 435 mm.
An example of a drawing for the manufacture of a single-axle trailer
The length of the trailer should not exceed 8 meters, while the maximum allowable ratio is 1.5 of the length of the car.
It is desirable that the ride height of the trailer be equal to that of the towing vehicle. Under no circumstances should the ground clearance of the trailer be lower than that of the vehicle.
Each trailer must be assigned its type during registration. There are three types in total:
- uniaxial;
- biaxial;
- triaxial.
A single-axle trailer, as the name suggests, has one pair of wheels. At the same time, it must withstand a maximum load of up to 700 kg. The two-axle can withstand much greater loads, but such a trailer will also exceed the previous type in terms of cost.
There are no clear regulations for a three-axle, but in the traffic police documents for cars it passes as a two-axle. Requirements for it also correspond to biaxial.
In order not to be certified for every trailer you produce, you need to get a certificate for the entire production. To do this, you should either LLC, and then contact the traffic police of Russia and pass all the necessary tests for compliance with trailer production standards.
After that, paperwork can be avoided, and it is no longer necessary to certify each trailer.
Trailer registration and material requirements
When assembling the cargo body of the trailer, metal profile pipes square section, while the pipe material must withstand high loads. When sheathing the hull, metal sheets of steel or aluminum are used.At the same time, corrugated steel is used for greater structural strength when sheathing the outer hull. The quality of materials must be appropriate. The minimum service life of a trailer is 50,000 km before overhaul under normal operating conditions.
When registering trailers, the following requirements must be met:
- the presence of splash guards,
- trailer must be equipped with parking lights,
- the presence of reflective stickers,
- an automatic hitch is installed.
At the same time, the cost of a two-axle trailer is estimated at $400-650. Most of this amount goes to the material, the rest is the payment for the work of employees.
Of course, you can do without them by assembling trailers yourself. But in this case, this business will take a significant amount of time, and the monthly production of trailers will be reduced to a minimum.
Premises for the production of trailers for cars
Like any other business, trailer manufacturing requires a dedicated workspace.The selection of premises for production should take place based on several parameters:
- the total area of the working room should be more than 80 square meters. meters;
- convenient transport fork, the ability to manufacture and service from 3-4 units of trailers and semi-trailers;
- availability of all necessary communications.
For this type of production, hangars, large boxes, former warehouses are perfect. Depending on the location of the building, the rent will vary.
It should also be taken into account that in the room you have chosen there should be a place for personnel to rest, a place to store finished products and materials used to make trailers.
If you plan in the future not only to expand the volume of production, but also to provide additional services, including repairs, it is worth choosing premises from 140 sq. m.
This space will be enough to accommodate additional equipment, and to work on 5-6 trailers at once.
Equipment for the manufacture of light trailers
Without necessary equipment no company can do its job. If you already have some the right tools, be it a hammer or a screwdriver - that's good. However, obviously, this is not enough to assemble high-quality and reliable trailers.Required equipment to get started:
Welding machine. Either a professional or a powerful industrial one is suitable for work. | |
Grinding machine - will provide a surface finish, it will also allow you to cut off parts of the parts to size according to the markup. | |
Drill - allows you to drill and drill holes for fastening bolts, do point turning work. For the production of trailers, a household one with a power of 700 watts or more is also suitable. | |
The toolbox is a must. Contains everything that can be useful in the manufacture of trailers. |
The purchase of high-quality equipment for production is one of the main costs at the start. If you are having difficulty buying a complete set, you should try to find used tools, the price of such tools can be half that of new ones.
A new set of equipment will cost you the following cost:
- Professional argon-arc welding machine - from 10 to 30 thousand rubles. At the same time, the industrial one will cost more.
- Grinding machine - from 2000 to 10000 rubles.
- Impact drill - from 20 thousand rubles.
- A set of tools - a minimum set of high-quality tools will cost 10-12 thousand rubles.
In total, the minimum cost of professional equipment- from 42 thousand rubles.
Worth keeping in mind: if you do not plan to work alone, then some sets of equipment will need to be duplicated.
Recruitment for the production of trailers
The production of trailers for cars can be started independently. However, when scaling your business or processing more than 2 orders per month, you will in any case face a choice - to hire new staff and expand, or continue to operate independently.Workers will help you not only save time, but also speed up the process of making new trailers, as well as relieve you of daily duties.
Trailer manufacturing is one of the few businesses that does not require any special skills. If you hire a worker, then he must be able to handle a drill, welding machine and have some experience in assembling metal structures.
In general, as you expand your business, you will need to hire the following staff:
- Workers for assembly and repair. This is the "backbone" of your company, the people who will assemble and maintain the trailers.
- Accountant. A person who will take care of accounting for papers and all expenses, as well as, if possible, accounting for incoming materials.
- Supply Manager / Marketer. it important person, which will deal with the placement of goods on various sites, look for a sales market, and so on.
For workers, you can set an approximate salary of 300-360 dollars, for an accountant and marketer - 500. Accordingly, with a staff of 4 people, salary costs, on average, will amount to 100 thousand rubles.
Of course, at the initial stages, you can get by with one assistant.
Sales and advertising campaign
The most important thing in own business– find stable channels for the sale of manufactured products.A car trailer is not a product that is purchased every day. It is worth paying considerable attention to advertising your products, because without it, no one will know that you are making trailers, no matter how good they are.
There are several ways to advertise, and they all exist in parallel to each other. For example, you can easily advertise your products in radio and newspaper ads - often publishers provide a column for free ads. It will not be superfluous to advertise with the help of improvised means - the bulletin board is still popular.
In addition, there is local television and the Internet. In the first case, advertising will be paid, but you should not miss this opportunity. Advertising through the media is one of the most popular and effective ways.
Advertising through the network has its advantages - it is not only popular, but also functional. For example, you can add a link to your own online store, where the future customer will immediately view the entire available range.
If you plan to sell your products not only via the Internet, you should make sure that your production has a demonstration site. It is desirable that it be possible to view the entire range of trailers available on it. If some of them are not available, or are made only to order, it is desirable to have “live” photos.
Profitability and additional maintenance services
Before starting production, it is important to study the sales market and the presence of competing enterprises. You have to understand what type of trailers will be in the most demand. It can be tent trailers, refrigerated trailers, tank trucks, as well as kiosk trailers.After researching the market, it is necessary to draw up production plan. It should cover all areas of production - from the number of employees to the monthly deliveries of trailers to the market. It will also include the calculation of the initial investment required to start production.
