- you want one that is rated 500kg heavier gross
A tougher all-round plant trailer for contractors who need to move a range of machines - diggers, dumpers, rollers - rather than one specific type. The tri-axle chassis spreads load for towing at higher gross weight on public roads.

Buy or hire the Race Box if...
Positioned for classic car owners and smaller motorsport teams who want their car fully enclosed and weatherproof but do not need the wider bed of the Race Sport or Race Transporter ranges. The narrower internal width suits a single classic or compact race car rather than a modern GT car.
