Buy or hire the Provan if...
- you want one that is 110kg 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.

Buy or hire the U-Tilt Flatbed (16'2" x 6'6") if...
- you want one that is rated 2.2 tonnes heavier gross
The U-Tilt range is Indespension's answer to ramp-loaded plant trailers, tipping the whole bed down rather than using fold-out ramps, which suits low-clearance machinery. It is generally compared with Ifor Williams' ramped GX plant trailers by hire fleets choosing between the two loading systems.
