Buy or hire the Touring Country if...

  • you want one that is rated 1.2 tonnes heavier gross

The most direct continental alternative to the Ifor Williams HB range. It is both larger inside and lighter unladen than the HB506, which is the trade-off worth understanding: more room per kilo, from aluminium and composite construction rather than steel.

Ifor Williams's entry-level flatbed range, bought by householders, gardeners and small trades for tip runs, garden waste and general loads. It is the trailer most UK hire yards keep several of, since one size or another suits almost any small job.
