Choose the Cargo Connect if...
A do-it-all flatbed aimed at plant hire firms and trailer rental companies who need one trailer that can carry a car, a mini digger or palletised goods. The tri-axle chassis and long bed make it a common hire-fleet workhorse rather than a car-specific transporter.
Source page describes the tri-axle configuration; dealer listings for plain 'Connect' and 'Connect Tri-Axle' are treated as the same model here.
Full specifications →Choose the Galaxy if...
A covered transporter for classic car dealers and collectors who want their vehicle enclosed and winched on rather than driven up an open ramp. The half-aluminium chassis and electric tilt keep unladen weight down relative to the payload it carries.
