Agricultural machinery manufacturer producing a range of trailers, spreaders and tankers. Built for today, driven by tomorrow.

Charles J Marshall (Aberdeen) Ltd was founded in 1952 by Charles J Marshall. By 1956 the first part of the present factory building was completed, named Chapel Works, and it gave Charles the ability to create the relatively new concept of a production line. Then as today, Charles invested heavily in his business and purchased vast stocks of steel and other components. This gave him the added advantage of being able to buy at very competitive prices and so produce a more cost effective trailer. Production output had also rocketed up from a mere 46 units built in 1952 to supplying well over 1,600 units per year by the mid-sixties. Rotary spreaders and slurry tankers were added to the product line in the 1980s and Chapel Works was producing over 2,000 machines a year. In 1982 the bright new talent of Charles Richard Marshall started his apprenticeship within the firm, taking up his present position as managing director in 1998. In 2012 the company welcomed the third generation into the fold - grandsons Charles Peter and brother David. Today we are still proud of our original premises and continue to invest annually to ensure we stay ahead of our competition. We predominantly use robot welders, CNC plasma cutters and presses alongside recently installing a huge state-of-the-art shot blasting and paint facility. The entire business and production process is controlled by bespoke SAP software giving us insights and data to enable constant improvements. Combining all these factors enables us to offer the highest levels of product consistency, quality, dependability and value to our customers at every turn. We now produce on average 46 units per week (a years production in 1952!). Marshall machines are sold throughout the world and we can proudly claim to be the UK’s oldest and largest trailer manufacturer.

2022 is yet another milestone in the history of our company as we celebrate 70 years in the business. Perhaps what is more remarkable is the fact that we are still owned and operated by the same hard working, approachable family; we’re still as utterly passionate about the business and the machines we produce for our customers as we were back in 1952.

Take a look at one of our customer’s impressive collections of MS-105 9-ton spreaders.

Their first Marshall spreader was purchased in the early 1990s, and since then they’ve upgraded their spreader every 10 years, with the latest Marshall addition being a brand-new 2026 model.

Remarkably, the oldest machine is now over 35 years old and despite years of hard work, and a few worn panels, it remains mechanically sound. A testament to the durability and longevity of Marshall machinery.

Today, every machine we build is fully shot blasted before receiving a high-quality two-pack paint finish, including both primer and top-coats, providing even greater protection and longer working life.

Overall, our side discharge spreaders continue to offer a highly cost-effective solution for dung spreading, reducing the reliance on contractors or waiting for hired machinery to become available. In addition, running two side spreaders can also provide increased spreading capacity at a much lower cost than a single rear-discharge machine.

If you have a similar line-up of Marshall machines send your photos in to us - we’d love to see them!

Getting muck, slurry and digestate applied in good time ahead of winter cropping requires high-capacity, reliable machinery. With tight weather windows and cultivations to keep moving, dependable spreading equipment can make all the difference in keeping you on schedule.

With over 70 years of experience supporting farmers, we understand the demands of getting the job done. Whether you’re running a large-scale operation or working on a smaller farm, our range has a solution to suit.

VES Rear Discharge Spreaders
Our VES range offers capacities from 9–14 tonnes and is designed for straightforward, reliable operation. Instead of a traditional chain and slat floor, a hydraulic ram pushes material into the beaters, reducing the number of moving parts and making the spreaders simple to operate and maintain.

MS Rotor Spreaders
For smaller farms or steeper ground, our sector-leading MS range offers capacities from 6–9 tonnes, with a choice of wheels to suit your needs. Providing farmers with a practical, cost-effective spreading solution and the option to spread when conditions are right without relying on contractors or hired-in machinery.

ST Slurry Tankers
Our ST range of slurry tankers, featuring nine models from 5,500 to 15,910 litres, has a wide range of specification options to suit different applications. Tailor with dribble bars, pump options, port configurations, and our Easy Connect system, allowing you to fill the tanker without leaving the tractor seat.

Whatever you’re spreading our machinery delivers the capacity, reliability and versatility you need when the time is right. With our blend of heritage, innovation and quality we continue to develop machinery that offers outstanding value, that’s built to last. For more information get in touch with us or ask your dealer for a Marshall.

Here’s one of our machines in action, sent in by a customer in the Cairngorms.

They put their slurry tanker to really good use and helped to transport water to fight the recent wildfires that caught across the Highlands.

We know that bale carting can easily become one of the most labour-intensive and time-consuming jobs of the season, so the more efficiently you can move each load, the sooner you can get on with the next task.

That's where the Marshall Easy Secure system comes into its own. Designed to maximise productivity while keeping loading and unloading simple and safe, the 3.1m (3-high) Easy Secure system allows you to move more bales in fewer journeys - without any ratchet straps slowing you down.

Available across the Marshall BC range from 12-tonne models upwards, loads are secured in seconds without a single strap, and the simple release the system helps unloading back at the yard. Minimising time spent undoing and rewinding ratchets, giving you more time clearing fields.

The Easy Secure system also offers a number of practical advantages over conventional steel frame designs. Its lighter construction allows greater payload capacity, while the larger contact area provides excellent load security and is kinder to wrapped silage bales, reducing the risk of damage in transit.

It also allows the trailer to be uncoupled and loaded using the towing tractor, making genuine one-man, one-machine operation possible. The result is improved labour efficiency, reduced fuel consumption and better utilisation of your machinery throughout the day.

When the fields are full of bales, leave the ratchet straps behind. Hitch up a Marshall Easy Secure bale trailer and turn bale carting into a faster, safer and easier operation. To find out more about the Marshall 3.1m (3-high) or 2.3m (2-high) Easy Secure systems, get in touch with us or ask your dealer for a Marshall.

With the Royal Welsh Show just behind us, some of you may know that it's become something of a tradition for Young Farmers to transform their caravans into agricultural-themed creations. What started as a bit of fun has become one of the show's more imaginative - and competitive - attractions.

We think we've found a clear winner from RWS 2026!

Check out this inspired design! Brilliantly conceived, expertly executed and a great example of some fantastic lateral thinking. We absolutely love it.

Well done to everyone involved... and to whoever stacked those tidy silage bales in the background.
