The Tilly Scheme is a program that ensures the safety of agricultural trailers in the United Kingdom. It involves an annual inspection conducted by qualified technicians to make sure trailers are roadworthy.
HERE’S A BREAKDOWN OF THE TILLY SCHEME:
• Purpose: Perform a comprehensive safety check on agricultural trailers to prevent accidents on the road.
• Frequency: Annual inspection.
• Similarities: Similar to the NSTS scheme for sprayers.
• Recognition: Recognised by HSE (Health and Safety Executive) and police, endorsed by relevant
organisations like NFU Mutual and Risk Management Services Ltd.
BENEFITS:
• Improves safety for the trailer owner, staff and other road users.
• Provides documented proof of a trailer’s road worthiness in case of accidents.
• Can assist trailer owners in defending liability claims if an accident occurs
INSPECTION PROCESS:
A thorough inspection of various trailer components, including:
• Brakes
• Lighting system and electrical wiring
• Hydraulics (cylinder and hoses)
• Suspension components
• Brake lines (both air and hydraulic)
• After the inspection, technicians will reinstall wheels and adjust the
handbrake, wheel bearings and brakes as necessary.
