Buy or hire the ECO745 if...
- you want one that is 520kg lighter empty
A taller, longer-bedded version of the Eco Box range for buyers needing more internal volume while staying unbraked. At 1470mm internal height it will take a stacked load standing up, which is what separates a box trailer from a flatbed with sides, while staying under the 750kg unbraked limit.
