Choose the 27-16 Transporter if...
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 straightforward in a way it is not on a flatbed.
Full specifications →Choose the P2813S if...
A compact, low-loading plant trailer sized around a mini excavator. The bed is deliberately short, which is the point: it suits a 1.5 to 2 tonne machine and keeps the whole outfit towable rather than chasing capacity it does not need.
Check the machine weight plus its bucket and any attachments against the payload, not the machine weight alone. This is where plant trailer purchases most often go wrong.
