Buy or hire the PT56 if...

  • you want one that is rated 2,750kg 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 GT756 if...

Gives buyers a wider, taller box than the single-axle Eco range while staying under the unbraked weight limit. A 1920mm internal height is unusual on an unbraked trailer and is the reason to choose it: market traders and event crews get a walk-in load space without needing brakes or a bigger tow car.
