Buy or hire the Provan if...
- you want one that is 16cm wider inside
A lightweight two-horse trailer for private owners and small livery yards who want to tow with a car on a standard B96 licence rather than needing a 7.5 tonne horsebox. The all-polyester body and large front ramp aim to make loading easier than a steel-bodied trailer of similar size.

- you want one that is 155kg lighter empty
A general enclosed trailer for tradespeople and small hauliers who need to keep tools, bikes or stock dry and locked away rather than under a sheet. It sits below the BV125/BV106 in the range, so it suits loads that need weather protection but not extra width or gross weight.
