Simon Rieter

"Excellent trailer, very impressed. Purchased it for orchard work and it has proven to be an good size for a range of tasks and will take a lot of weight. Great for carting posts and apple bins. Very strongly built."

Choosing The Right Trailer For Your Needs

Not sure which trailer is best for your job? Choosing the right trailer can make your work easier and ensure you're getting value for your money. Here’s a simple guide to help you decide what works for you.

  • 1. Axle Type

    The type of axle in your trailer affects how it handles weight and manoeuvres on the road.

    • Single axle trailers are perfect for lighter loads, short trips, and general use. They’re easier to tow, making them ideal for smaller jobs, such as transporting gardening tools or household items. If you don’t need to carry heavy loads or drive long distances, a single axle could be the right choice.
    • Tandem axles are a great option for heavier use. They provide more stability, making them ideal for larger, bulkier loads. If you’re hauling equipment for work, such as machinery, or transporting larger goods, a tandem axle will provide the strength and control you need.
  • 2. Size

    The size of the trailer is one of the first things you should think about. It depends on what you’re transporting and how much space you need.

    • A 7x4 trailer is compact and perfect for everyday tasks like transporting garden waste or small furniture. It’s easy to tow, even with smaller vehicles, and provides just enough space for general hauling.
    • 8x5 & 10x5 are great for work sites, carrying building materials, or moving larger items. These sizes offer more space and capacity, making them better suited for heavier and bulkier loads. Whether you're hauling timber, machinery, or multiple smaller items, these sizes will give you the extra room you need.
  • 3. Use Case

    Consider how often you’ll be using your trailer and the type of items you’re transporting. Different trailer designs cater to specific needs.

    • Flat Deck Trailers
      If you're transporting large, bulky items like timber, machinery, or pallets, a flat deck trailer is the way to go. The open design allows for easier loading and unloading of larger items. Flat decks are versatile and great for jobs that need to carry odd-shaped or oversized loads.
    • Hydraulic Tipping Trailers
      Need to unload your cargo quickly and easily? Hydraulic tipping trailers are perfect for that. Whether you’re transporting gravel, firewood, dirt, or sand, the hydraulic lift mechanism allows you to tip the trailer and unload your materials with minimal effort. These trailers save you time and energy, especially on construction or landscaping jobs.
