Buy or hire the Ascot if...
A simple two-horse trailer from Bateson, similar in capacity to the maker's Deauville model. At 2300kg gross it stays towable by a mid-size 4x4 or pickup, which is why it turns up with private owners and small livery yards rather than professional transporters.

- you want one that is 39cm (1.5ft) wider inside
A flatbed trailer with a tilting deck, built for loading vehicles with low ground clearance or for vehicle recovery, where a fixed ramp angle would ground the car. Recovery operators and low-car owners choose it over a standard flatbed for that reason alone.
