Anssems

Anssems vs Saris

Well-made Dutch aluminium box trailers carrying a three-year warranty. Buy on specification, but check who will service it locally before committing, because in Britain this is an order rather than a shelf purchase.

Anssems vs Eduard

Build-your-own through a configurator rather than pick-from-a-list. Wheels sit under the floor so the deck is full width, and the ramps store in drawers underneath. Suits a buyer with an exact specification who would otherwise have to compromise.

Anssems vs Debon

The ride-quality option in box vans and tippers. The Pullman 2 four-wheel independent suspension gives a low floor and car-like towing, which is exactly what someone moving bikes, a track car or trade kit notices at 60mph on a motorway.

Anssems vs Humbaur

German engineering breadth - around 420 standard models, so if a configuration exists Humbaur probably builds it. Worth seeking out when you need something specific, such as a refrigerated body or an unusual tipper spec, and will accept a longer UK supply chain to get it.

Anssems vs Erde

The classic first trailer. Camping, garden waste and tip runs, light enough for a small car, with no braking system to maintain and a large accessory catalogue behind it. Nobody buys one for work, and that is the point.
