Buy or hire the AT 4019/27 if...
- you want one that is rated 100kg 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 HB506 if...
The mainstream two-horse trailer in Britain, used by private owners and small yards. Its comparatively low unladen weight for the class is the practical point: it widens the range of 4x4s and large SUVs that can legally and comfortably tow it.
