Buy or hire the HL-AL 3218/27 if...
- you want one that is rated 100kg heavier gross
A wider-bedded version of the HL-AL platform trailer, giving trade and construction users more deck area for the same 2.7 tonne gross weight. It is chosen when the standard HL-AL 3016 bed is too narrow for the load.

Buy or hire the Touring Country if...
The most direct continental alternative to the Ifor Williams HB range. It is both larger inside and lighter unladen than the HB506, which is the trade-off worth understanding: more room per kilo, from aluminium and composite construction rather than steel.
