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.

Gives buyers a wider, taller box than the single-axle Eco range while staying under the unbraked weight limit. A 1920mm internal height is unusual on an unbraked trailer and is the reason to choose it: market traders and event crews get a walk-in load space without needing brakes or a bigger tow car.
