A Complete Overlanding Solution
Echo4x4 understands that an adventure is more than just a caravan. That is why their new premises houses a rapidly growing fitment centre. You can now equip your entire vehicle and trailer at one trusted destination.
Their expertise does not end with the trailer body.

This commitment to engineering excellence is trusted by heavy industry. The Echo4x4 Specialities division manufactures highly-specialised Mast Trailers for the mining, military, and police sectors. These units serve as rapidly deployable radio relay stations and camera observation posts, proving the brand’s quality in the most critical, high-stakes environments.
