Buy or hire the Eurolight EL101-2515 if...
The EL101-2515 suits owners who only have a small braked towing capacity, since its 1000kg gross weight and single axle keep it within reach of many family cars. Its 2.58m bed still covers everyday jobs like garden waste, flat-pack furniture or a small ride-on mower.
