Buy or hire the PT56 if...
- you want one that is rated 800kg heavier gross
A tri-axle tilt-bed trailer that lowers to ground level so plant, vehicles or awkward loads can be driven or winched straight on without ramps. Its low deck and tilt action suit hire firms moving mixed loads rather than one type of vehicle.

Buy or hire 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.
