Choose the General Plant if...
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.
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.
Manufacturer also lists a longer Galaxy 20 (6100mm bed, 1300kg unladen, 2200kg payload); figures shown are for the Galaxy 18.
