trailer hire - head to head
Anssems vs Eduard
Both makes turn up on the same shortlists, and the honest answer is that they are built for different buyers rather than one being better than the other. Here is what actually separates them - from a directory that sells neither.

Choose Anssems if...
Aluminium construction gives unusually high payload for the gross weight, which matters enormously when a licence category or a tow rating is the binding constraint. The GT500 hard-tops are popular with campers who want something lockable.
Look at: AMT and AMT-ECO, BSX and BSX Go-Getter, GT series (GT-O, GT-R, GT-HT, GT-VT)
Full Anssems profile →Choose Eduard if...
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.

Full Eduard profile →Where to hire or buy either
Most UK trailer hire companies carry several makes and advertise none of them, so the practical move is to find the firms covering your area and ask what is on the yard.
