Before you quote these figures
Single and twin axle share the same bed size, so the choice is entirely about payload and towing stability rather than capacity.
Who uses it
The entry point of the Ifor Williams general duty range and one of the most common working trailers in Britain. Smallholders, gardeners and tradespeople buy it for everyday hauling without needing a heavy tow vehicle, and the twin-axle version roughly doubles the payload for a modest gain in unladen weight.
Closest alternative
The model most often cross-shopped against the GD85 is the Nugent general purpose range.
We do not hold verified figures for it yet, so there is no side-by-side to link to.
Looking for one?
Most companies carry several makes and advertise none of them. Find the firms covering your area and ask what is on the yard.
