Buy or hire the Provan if...
- you want one that is 400kg lighter empty
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.

For owners of taller or longer horses who find the standard HB511 too tight, giving extra internal length on the same 3500kg chassis so it stays towable by a suitably rated 4x4.
