The Erde 143 is a step up in size from the Erde 102, still light enough for many family cars to tow without a braking system, and commonly used for camping, tip runs and light gardening or DIY loads. Its tipping body and low unladen weight make it a popular first trailer for private buyers.

A two-horse trailer that loads horses at a diagonal rather than straight ahead, giving nervous travellers more room to brace. It is hired by owners moving horses that struggle in conventional straight-loading boxes; UK ads sometimes list it under Cheval Liberte, the dealer that distributes it, rather than its actual French maker Fautras.
