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 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.
Indespension also sells a smaller U-Tilt Flatbed at 14'2" x 6'2" (4320mm x 1980mm), 3500kg GVW, 900kg unladen, 2600kg payload.
