Bought where machinery is too wide for the 1.57m GX105HD bed but the shorter 3.03m length is still enough, typically for wider skid-steers and small rollers.

Maypole's smallest trailer, for buyers wanting the lightest possible box trailer for camping gear or light loads. A 105 x 85cm bed and 55kg unladen weight put it in reach of a small hatchback, and it is the trailer people buy for a single job rather than a fleet.
