Buy or hire the P2813S if...

  • you want one that is rated 2.1 tonnes heavier gross

A compact, low-loading plant trailer sized around a mini excavator. The bed is deliberately short, which is the point: it suits a 1.5 to 2 tonne machine and keeps the whole outfit towable rather than chasing capacity it does not need.
