All
new trailers built by Smart-Trailers manufacturers
are European Wide Type Approved through the Vehicle
Certification Agency (VCA),
carry the unique 17 digit EWTA Vehicle Identification

All
new trailers sold by Smart-Trailers* are Registered
by us with the National Caravan Council (NCC)
on their CRiS database and you will receive a registration
document directly from the NCC.
By
registering your trailer and contact details you will
have peace of mind knowing that in the event of a
theft or write-off or if your trailer's safety is
compromised or if it is subject to an insurance claim
CRiS is on hand to help make a difficult situation
easier for you.
It
is also possible for us to register a trailer not
manufactured by Smart-Trailers for you.**

CRiS
is the Central Registration & Identification Scheme,
owned by the NCC,
which operates in a similar way to the DVLA for cars,
providing you with the benefit of a registration document
and a record that you are the keeper of your trailer.
With its unique industry connections, CRiS also maintains
information relating to any interest held by finance
companies and, from insurance companies, whether the
trailer had been "written off" or stolen
- essential to know before buying a used Smart-Trailers.

Specialist
Insurance companies often require
registration with CRiS before granting cover and when you
come to sell your Smart-Trailer your CRiS registration will
prove invaluable. Not only does CRiS offer you all the benefits
of registering you as the keeper, but it offers opportunities
for prospective purchasers, both trade and public, to check
out the legitimacy of a used Smart-Trailer offered to them
for sale thereby enhancing the resale value. Trailer thefts
do occur, so buyers can't afford to take any risks - the
existence of CRiS has in fact kept thefts to a low level.
It is essential for anyone looking to buy a trailer to check
it out through CRiS.
We
can also, as an option, embed an electronic datatag within
the bodywork of the Smart-Trailer for extra security. Only
the police and enforcement agencies have direct access to
the location of the tag and the means to read the VIN programmed
within it. Recovery of a CRiS registered trailer is therefore
more likely to be successful.
We
can also supply state-of-the-art GPS Trackers
to personalise the security of your Smart-Trailer and deter
thieves.
