History
Trading under its original name of Pilot Caravans, the company was established in 1938 and manufactured high quality caravans. The coach built construction lent itself to being customised and used for commercial applications such as Mobile clinics, X-Ray units, libraries and hospitality units.
Its clinical range was started in the early 50's supplying trailer units to local authorities for dental health in schools and to British Coal for chest X-Ray screening programmes.
A major change in the company’s management and product range came about in 1967 when its former chairman joined the company. He designed a functional mobile exhibition which effectively looked like a show stand rather than the typical 'converted caravan' which was becoming a popular sight at show grounds.
These innovative designs incorporated folding floor and roof extensions, with roll out pods that almost trebled the average floor area. These designs led the way and were an instant success with numerous Blue Chip companies and local authorities. The fold out and roll out features still form the basis of most designs today and now incorporates hydraulic and gas assisted strut operation if required.
As the designs have evolved the interest in mobile clinics is still as great as ever, with ever popular designs for occupational health clinics and dental surgeries among the most common.
