Buy or hire 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.

Buy or hire the P3718T if...
The P3718T is one of Nugent's tri-axle plant trailers, using its Dual Drive suspension to keep a low, stable loading angle for machinery. It suits contractors and plant hire firms who want the extra stability of three axles over a twin-axle model like the Ifor Williams GX126 at a similar 3500kg gross weight.
