Buy or hire the Oblic+2 if...
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.

Bought where machinery is too wide for the 1.57m GX105HD bed but the shorter 3.03m length is still enough, typically for wider skid-steers and small rollers.
