Buy or hire the Tolede if...

  • you want one that is 580kg lighter empty

A wide, shallow-bodied trailer for bulky low-height loads such as flat-pack furniture or garden materials. Two axles under a 750kg gross weight buys stability rather than payload, which suits long light loads that would tip a single-axle trailer at motorway speeds.
