Buy or hire the GD105 if...
- you want one that is rated 1.2 tonnes heavier gross
The same market as the GD85 with about 60cm more bed length, which is the difference between fitting a load and not. Landscapers and anyone moving long materials or a quad choose it for the length rather than the payload, which is unchanged.

Buy or hire the Standard Flatbed if...
- you want one that is 235kg lighter empty
A general-purpose flatbed trailer range built in several weight ratings on the same 6'1" wide bed, so hire and sales yards can offer one design across light and heavier loads. It suits plant, vehicle and general haulage rather than any single specialist job.
