- you want one that is 680kg lighter empty
Maypole's smallest trailer, for buyers wanting the lightest possible box trailer for camping gear or light loads. A 105 x 85cm bed and 55kg unladen weight put it in reach of a small hatchback, and it is the trailer people buy for a single job rather than a fleet.
