Buy or hire the Provan if...
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.

Bought by plant hire and groundworks firms that need to prove what left the yard and where it went, since DigaDoc records load movements electronically on top of the standard GH plant trailer chassis. It is the same GH94 base trailer as the plain GH94, with the tracking hardware added.
