Buy or hire the TB12-15 if...

Bailey's TB12-15 range covers three tipping trailer sizes on the same heavy commercial running gear, aimed at contractors and plant hire yards moving aggregate, spoil and site waste. The largest, the TB15, carries close to 20m3 of loose material, so it suits bulky waste rather than dense loads.
