Buy or hire the BV105 if...

  • you want one that is 135kg 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.

  • you want one that is rated 800kg heavier gross

A mid-size powered tipper used by groundworkers, agricultural contractors and self-builders moving muck, aggregate and spoil. The electric tipping ram is what you are paying for over a hand-winch tipper, and on a trailer used weekly it earns that back quickly.
