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.

The Galaxy SW345PN suits owners of inflatables and small RIBs who want the lightest trailer that still meets EU type approval, since its 500kg gross weight lets many small cars tow it without extra licence categories. Its multi-roller bed is built for a soft or RIB hull rather than a hard-chine motorboat.
