Buy or hire the U-Tilt Flatbed (16'2" x 6'6") if...

  • you want one that is rated 2,750kg heavier gross

The U-Tilt range is Indespension's answer to ramp-loaded plant trailers, tipping the whole bed down rather than using fold-out ramps, which suits low-clearance machinery. It is generally compared with Ifor Williams' ramped GX plant trailers by hire fleets choosing between the two loading systems.
