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.

Aimed at tradespeople and small businesses needing a bigger payload box trailer for stock, tools or equipment. Braked and twin-axled at 1800kg gross, it carries 1350kg - about three times an unbraked box trailer - so it suits a working week rather than an occasional tip run.
