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
Sold in three lengths and two heights, plus heavy-duty versions at a higher gross weight. Figures above span the range rather than describing one trailer.
Who uses it
The standard British livestock trailer, and the one most smallholders and farmers picture when they say livestock trailer. Low loading height and flexible partitions matter more here than raw capacity, because the job is getting animals in and out calmly rather than maximising a payload.
Closest alternative
The model most often cross-shopped against the TA5 is the Nugent livestock 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.
