Buy or hire the 100LT if...
- you want one that is rated 7.3 tonnes heavier gross
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 GD105 if...
The same market as the GD85 with about 60cm more bed length, which is the difference between fitting a load and not. Landscapers and anyone moving long materials or a quad choose it for the length rather than the payload, which is unchanged.
