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 MP6810 if...
Maypole's smallest trailer, for buyers wanting the lightest possible box trailer for camping gear or light loads. A 105 x 85cm bed and 55kg unladen weight put it in reach of a small hatchback, and it is the trailer people buy for a single job rather than a fleet.
