Anssems vs Vlemmix
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.

A high-volume Dutch manufacturer building a few standard models extremely competitively rather than bespoke one-offs. In Britain the realistic reason to seek one out is a boat trailer or a tiny-house chassis, where the alternatives are genuinely few.

Which is easier to get hold of in the UK, Anssems or Vlemmix?
Anssems: Approved UK dealers rather than a broad network. Vlemmix: Over 100 sales outlets across Benelux, central and eastern Europe and Scandinavia; the UK is not a named market and no UK importer was found. Units here are largely private imports and used stock.
Can I hire rather than buy?
Yes. Most UK trailer hire companies hire as well as sell, and many carry several makes without listing them. Search by your area and ask what they have on the yard.
