Buy or hire the TA5 if...
- you want one that is rated 1,950kg heavier gross
- you want one that is 22cm longer inside
- you want one that is 8cm wider inside
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.

Buy or hire the GT756 if...
- you want one that is 300kg lighter empty
Gives buyers a wider, taller box than the single-axle Eco range while staying under the unbraked weight limit. A 1920mm internal height is unusual on an unbraked trailer and is the reason to choose it: market traders and event crews get a walk-in load space without needing brakes or a bigger tow car.
