Buy or hire the ProLine Beavertail if...
The ProLine Beavertail suits owners of low-ground-clearance cars, since its beavertail ramp lets a car drive on and off without grounding, unlike a flat-bed transporter. PRG offers it across twin and tri-axle chassis so buyers can match the trailer to a 3000kg or 3500kg tow limit.

Buy or hire the Standard Flatbed if...
A general-purpose flatbed trailer range built in several weight ratings on the same 6'1" wide bed, so hire and sales yards can offer one design across light and heavier loads. It suits plant, vehicle and general haulage rather than any single specialist job.
