Buy or hire the Connect if...

  • you want one that is rated 2,750kg heavier gross

Brian James's modular flatbed platform, built to order in a range of lengths, widths and axle counts. Plant and vehicle hire firms specify it as a general-purpose load carrier rather than buying a dedicated car transporter or plant trailer.

Buy or hire the Cadix if...

A mid-sized camping trailer for families wanting more load space than the Alicante for tents and holiday gear. The 205cm bed is the practical difference: it takes a folded awning or a family tent lengthways, which the shorter Alicante will not. Still unbraked, so no servicing beyond lights and bearings.
