Air Brake Direct Ltd – Your Commercial Motor Factor for Truck & Trailer Parts

Founded in 2010 in Bristol, Air Brake Direct Ltd was established to meet a growing demand for a reliable, specialist commercial motor factor that understands the realities of the truck, trailer, and coach industry. From the outset, the focus was simple: parts availability, technical knowledge, and fast service — delivered without compromise.

That commitment quickly set the business apart.

In 2021, Air Brake Direct relocated to Halesowen in the West Midlands, strategically positioning the company at the heart of the UK’s commercial vehicle network. This move enabled significant expansion in stockholding, logistics, and customer coverage — transforming Air Brake Direct into a high-capacity commercial motor factor serving both regional and national customers.

Since relocating, the business has grown massively.

While air brake systems remain a core strength, Air Brake Direct now supplies a full range of truck and trailer parts, supporting everything from routine servicing to complex repairs. With a portfolio of over 250,000 parts, customers benefit from the convenience of a true one-stop shop — eliminating delays, reducing downtime, and simplifying procurement.

Air Brake Direct actively supports:

National fleet managers requiring dependable supply and consistent service

Independent repairers and commercial workshops needing parts immediately

Coach operators and specialist vehicle companies who demand quality and accuracy

To back this service promise, Air Brake Direct operates a growing fleet of delivery vans, providing fast, reliable coverage throughout the West Midlands and surrounding areas. When vehicles are off the road, speed matters — and Air Brake Direct delivers.

The business has also invested in a new, purpose-built website, designed to reflect its scale and capability as a modern commercial motor factor. With an expanding online catalogue and improved product access, customers can source parts faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Today, Air Brake Direct Ltd stands as a leading commercial motor factor, combining:

Extensive stock availability

Expert product knowledge

Rapid local delivery

Competitive pricing

Trusted support for fleets and workshops alike

From its Bristol beginnings to its West Midlands base, Air Brake Direct continues to grow with one clear objective:

Keeping commercial vehicles moving — reliably, efficiently, and without delay.
