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.

A step up from the MP6810 for buyers wanting slightly more load capacity for camping, leisure or light commercial use. The extra 15cm of length and 37kg of payload over the MP6810 is the difference between a boot-load and a small van-load, at a weight any car can still tow.
