The longer 'L' version of the Portax K, giving taller or bigger horses more room while keeping the front-exit layout. It appeals to owners of warmbloods or cobs who found the standard Portax K too tight.

Buy or hire the MP6810 if...
Maypole's smallest trailer, for buyers wanting the lightest possible box trailer for camping gear or light loads. A 105 x 85cm bed and 55kg unladen weight put it in reach of a small hatchback, and it is the trailer people buy for a single job rather than a fleet.
