Choose the TL-AL 2515/15 if...
A mid-weight single-axle trailer in the TL-AL family, wider than the smallest models for bulkier loads while staying within a 1.5 tonne gross weight. It suits tradespeople and private users who outgrew a 750kg trailer.
Full specifications →Choose the GD85 if...
The entry point of the Ifor Williams general duty range and one of the most common working trailers in Britain. Smallholders, gardeners and tradespeople buy it for everyday hauling without needing a heavy tow vehicle, and the twin-axle version roughly doubles the payload for a modest gain in unladen weight.
Single and twin axle share the same bed size, so the choice is entirely about payload and towing stability rather than capacity.
