Buy or hire the GT756 if...
- you want one that is 190kg lighter empty
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.
