Dropside trailer sides

I'm doing up a 12x7 tipper trailer at the minute and would like to have steel sides rather than timber.

Could anyone recommended somewhere to fold/press steel or have any idea of cost.

I need 2 panels 540mm x 3650mm.

Cheers
 
Our local man would charge for that ,
Cost of steel used ,
+ time taken to do the job.
I shouldn't be hard to find someone to do that. I know of at least 3 people within 4 or 5 miles of Me who could do it. Possibly twice as many if I think about it .
 
Be careful of the weight of the sides. I think you are going with one full length side?

The 14ft steel trailer here has them split in two but they are grain sides of 50ins and they are a loader job to remove them/drop them.
 
Yes full length, targeting 2mm steel maximum so should be around 40kgs per side.

2mm is light but plenty strong for my needs with a couple of folds.
