The 12LT is Bateson's entry-level livestock trailer, the only single-axle model in its livestock range, aimed at smallholders and farmers moving calves, sheep or pigs in smaller numbers than a full cattle trailer would carry. Its low GVW keeps it towable by smaller 4x4s and pickups.

A close match for the Cadix in size and weight, giving buyers another styling option in Lider's camping trailer line-up. Same 205cm length as the Cadix and 10cm narrower, so the choice between them is about what fits your garage rather than what it will carry.
