The largest of Erde's compact leisure trailers here, suited to buyers who need the extra bed length for bulkier loads. At 205cm the bed is long enough for fence panels and flat-pack furniture, and the 560kg payload covers a full load of soil or rubble within the unbraked limit.

Buy or hire the TA5 if...
- you want one that is 24cm wider inside
- you want one that is 27cm longer inside
The standard British livestock trailer, and the one most smallholders and farmers picture when they say livestock trailer. Low loading height and flexible partitions matter more here than raw capacity, because the job is getting animals in and out calmly rather than maximising a payload.
