Buy or hire the AT 4019/27 if...
- you want one that is rated 700kg heavier gross
A tipping, low-bed car transporter from German builder Bockmann, rated to carry a car or light plant up to around 2 tonnes. The tipping bed and integral winch let one person load a non-runner without a separate ramp, which is what puts it in vehicle recovery and plant fleets rather than ordinary car trailers.

Buy or hire the A Transporter (A4) if...
One of the most common car trailers in Britain, bought by trade and private owners for moving road cars, project cars and small vans. The reason it sells is the spread of bed length and gross weight combinations, which lets you match the trailer to the tow car rather than the other way round.
