Buy or hire the 27-16 Transporter if...
- you want one that is rated 50kg heavier gross
A hydraulic tilt-bed transporter used by recovery operators, car dealers and track-day owners. The hydraulic tilt rather than a winch and ramps is the whole reason to choose it: loading a low or non-running car alone is simple in a way it is not on a flatbed.

Buy or hire the Champion Kutsche C if...
A Bockmann trailer built specifically to carry a horse-drawn carriage as well as the horses that pull it, used by driving enthusiasts and competitors rather than general riders. The aluminium body keeps weight down given the extra load of the carriage.
