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.

Aimed at tradespeople and small businesses needing a bigger payload box trailer for stock, tools or equipment. Braked and twin-axled at 1800kg gross, it carries 1350kg - about three times an unbraked box trailer - so it suits a working week rather than an occasional tip run.
