What to Look For When Buying a General Purpose Trailer in the UK
General purpose trailers are one of the most versatile investments a farmer, tradesperson, or landowner can make. Here are the four key things to check before buying.
- Match trailer weight rating to your typical load. Overloading is illegal on UK roads
- Single axle for under 1,000kg. Twin axle for heavier loads and motorway use
- Drop sides and rear ramps make loading bulky items far easier
- Galvanised chassis lasts longer and costs less to maintain
