Buy or hire the A-Max 305 if...
Suits owners of larger saloons or estate cars who have outgrown the shorter A-Max 210 but do not need a full car-transporter range trailer. The extra bed length and payload give more margin for a heavier road car.

Buy or hire the Oblic+2 if...
A two-horse trailer that loads horses at a diagonal rather than straight ahead, giving nervous travellers more room to brace. It is hired by owners moving horses that struggle in conventional straight-loading boxes; UK ads sometimes list it under Cheval Liberte, the dealer that distributes it, rather than its actual French maker Fautras.
