Bateson's largest livestock trailer, a 20ft tractor-drawn unit with a fully galvanised, demountable container. At 10 tonnes gross it suits livestock hauliers and farms moving full loads of cattle or sheep rather than the smaller trailers aimed at hobby keepers.

Buy or hire the 102 if...
The Erde 102 is one of the smallest trailers Erde sells, light enough to be towed by small cars and many motorcycles, and pitched at campers and gardeners rather than tradespeople. Its tipping body makes it easy to empty garden waste or loose loads without lifting them out by hand.
