Choose the CT177 if...
The CT177 is built to be wide enough for most light commercial vehicles while remaining narrow enough for smaller cars, making it a common choice for vehicle recovery firms and the motor trade. Its long bed and 3500kg GVW keep it within standard car-licence towing limits for a single vehicle plus ramps.

The LM146 is a general-purpose flatbed aimed at landscaping, construction and plumbing trades that need a long, wide load bed with a high payload on a single 3500kg-braked chassis. It is used where loads are bulky or awkwardly shaped rather than plant machinery, which typically goes on the ramped GX range instead.
