Buy or hire the Maxi 3 if...

  • you want one that is 1.86m (6ft) taller inside
  • you want one that is rated 2,750kg heavier gross
  • you want one that is 1.95m (6.5ft) longer inside
  • you want one that is 85cm (3ft) wider inside

The Maxi 3 is aimed at owners who regularly need to move three horses at once, using diagonal herringbone stalls and a full-size tack room rather than a simple extension of a two-horse layout. At 3500kg GVW it needs a suitably rated tow vehicle and, for newer licence holders, category B+E entitlement.

A close match for the Cadix in size and weight, giving buyers another styling option in Lider's camping trailer line-up. Same 205cm length as the Cadix and 10cm narrower, so the choice between them is about what fits your garage rather than what it will carry.
