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.

As grass growth slows and autumn approaches, our feed trailer range provides an ideal, cost-effective solution for outdoor buffer feeding ahead of winter housing for cattle.

Designed with practical features that help reduce feed waste, improve ease of use and maximise longevity, these trailers are a smart investment that can quickly pay for themselves, with features that include:
- 32-40 feed spaces per trailer, available with tombstone sides for horned cattle.
- Timber floors as standard for improved effluent drainage & easy replacement.
- Robot-welded steel construction for increased strength, durability & longevity.
- Tapered sides allow cattle to reach further into the trailer, minimising feed wastage.
- Fully opening rear door for easy cleaning & added versatility for general carting jobs.
- Retractable or removable drawbar offers additional feeding spaces & protection for cattle legs.
- Jackscrews or skids help keep the trailer level during feeding.
- Shot-blasted & finished with a 2-pack paint system for a tougher, more durable finish.

With multiple uses, they are more than just a feed trailer. With a range of additional options, such as road lights, rear tow hitch for tandem towing and removable seating, this trailer can also be converted into an inexpensive people carrier, adding even more versatility and value.

Economical, innovative and built to last, our feed trailers are designed to work hard for your business. So, make sure you’re ready for the season ahead and talk to us or ask your dealer for a Marshall.

With more than 40 machines leaving Chapel Works in Aberdeen every week, efficiency isn't just important - it’s essential. By running a streamlined production facility, it helps us to control manufacturing overheads, allowing us to offer stable pricing despite a volatile raw materials market.

Our commitment to better productivity goes hand in hand with quality. By investing in automation across the manufacturing process, we achieve consistent product standards, increase throughput, reduce waste and minimise downtime. It also reduces the physical demands on our skilled workforce, allowing them to focus on building reliable, top-class machinery. Some of this automation includes:

- An integrated production management system, powered by the same software used in automotive plants.
- Two multi-sheet plasma cutting machines to minimise waste & produce thousands of precision-cut components every week.
- Four robotic welding stations with rotating jigs, operating for up to 12 hours a day to manufacture chassis & major components.
- Twin paint booths to handle everything from individual components to complete trailers, with automated climate-control & self-cleaning systems for a top class finish.
- 14 overhead cranes & 16 overhead hoists supporting the safe, efficient movement & assembly of components.
- In-floor lifting systems in final assembly, allowing complete machines to be raised safely to working height, and easier access for hard-to-reach areas.

Our pursuit of manufacturing performance never stops. Every investment is driven by one goal: delivering higher quality, greater consistency and better customer value.

We’re also always pleased to welcome customers to Chapel Works. Seeing our manufacturing process firsthand is the best way to appreciate the technology, care and craftsmanship behind every machine. To arrange a factory tour, get in touch with us or ask your dealer about Marshall.

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!

For more information about the Marshall MS range get in touch with us or ask your dealer for a Marshall.

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.
