Figures taken from the manufacturer: source. Anything we could not verify is left out rather than estimated. Specifications change by model year and configuration - confirm with the supplier before relying on them.
Before you quote these figures
A range rather than a single trailer. Bed size and gross weight vary together across the model codes, so confirm the exact variant before relying on any figure.
Who uses it
One of the most common car trailers in Britain, bought by trade and private owners for moving road cars, project cars and small vans. The reason it sells is the spread of bed length and gross weight combinations, which lets you match the trailer to the tow car rather than the other way round.
Closest alternative
The model most often cross-shopped against the A Transporter (A4) is the Ifor Williams CT136.

Most companies carry several makes and advertise none of them. Find the firms covering your area and ask what is on the yard.
