Choose the HB511 if...
The wider step up from the HB506, for larger horses or owners who want more room in transit. The extra 12cm of internal width and 36cm of length cost 80kg unladen, which is worth checking against your tow vehicle before choosing it over the HB506.

A workhorse flatbed for plant hire firms, groundworkers and landscapers moving mini-diggers, pallets and fencing. The payload relative to its own weight is the reason it is so common on sites: 675kg unladen against a 3,500kg gross leaves a genuinely useful figure.
A tri-axle LM126T is also offered.
