Choose the TA5 if...
The standard British livestock trailer, and the one most smallholders and farmers picture when they say livestock trailer. Low loading height and flexible partitions matter more here than raw capacity, because the job is getting animals in and out calmly rather than maximising a payload.
Sold in three lengths and two heights, plus heavy-duty versions at a higher gross weight. Figures above span the range rather than describing one trailer.
Full specifications →Choose the TT3017 if...
A mid-size powered tipper used by groundworkers, agricultural contractors and self-builders moving muck, aggregate and spoil. The electric tipping ram is what you are paying for over a hand-winch tipper, and on a trailer used weekly it earns that back quickly.
