Car Trailers
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could lead me into the right direction in regards with car trailers. I want to buy something reliable and sturdy. Going to be towing cars such as my mini or the old mans range rover. Any decent trailers out there, prefer a open flatbed car trailer easier to drive on too and drive off.

Would like to know more about them, not much around here in terms of car trailers.

Cheers Thumbs Up

Being a born and raised farmer I would have to go with Ifor Williams all the way.

£2600 will get you a 3.5t 14'x6'5 flatbed, with sides, lashing points, and ramps. I have seen them over 10 years old of farm abuse and still running strong.

I wouldn't buy a 'Car' trailer as that is all it can do.... where a flat bed with sides can be used for anything and everything.

My mates trailer is turned to anything...really good trailer. Having the large full width ramp helps as well.

I cant deny that IFORs get farm abuse and survive years...but his bateson gets similar too Mike

Agree, BJ as a vehicle mover and if you need all round use as I do, IW is the way to go. Thumbs Up

Use a 16 foot IW tilt with removable sides and a long drop down tail board, but it does not like spoilers.
