Key Features to Look for in a Plant Trailer
When choosing a plant trailer, it's important to think beyond just the size or how it looks. The right trailer makes your work easier, keeps your equipment safe, and ensures you're towing legally and responsibly on UK roads. At the heart of a great plant trailer are four key features that make all the difference in performance and reliability.
Payload Capacity
First and foremost is payload capacity. Every trailer has a legal limit to how much weight it can carry, and exceeding that not only risks fines but can seriously compromise safety. Always match your machinery’s weight with a trailer that offers a suitable payload. Most plant trailers have a GVW between 2,000kg and 3,500kg. Brent makes it simple by listing clear payload details on every trailer, helping you stay within the rules and tow with confidence.
Structural Strength
Next is structural strength. Plant trailers are built for tough work, often navigating rugged sites and carrying bulky, uneven loads. That’s why the construction quality matters. A reinforced chassis made of galvanised steel provides the durability needed for daily use in construction, agriculture, and landscaping. Strong welds, solid axles, and anti-corrosion coatings ensure that your trailer can take a beating and keep going, no matter the conditions.
Ramp System
Loading is another major factor. Not all ramps are created equal, and choosing the right ramp setup can make your life a whole lot easier. Some trailers offer full-width solid ramps that are perfect for wide, heavy machinery like diggers and rollers. Others come with split ramps that are lighter to handle and better suited for varied loads. Hydraulic tilt beds or slide-out ramps give even more flexibility, especially on uneven ground. Whatever the setup, a good ramp provides a smooth, stable incline to help prevent accidents or damage during loading and unloading.
