Twin axle versus tri axle trailers - pros and cons?

Recommended Posts

I understand the resale value on the Ifor Williams is very good, but I just don't like them very much. Agricultural, rattle around constantly, you have to take a spanner to them to take the corners and half way posts off, the flat bed isn't actually flat due to the one inch lip around the edge (huge pain in the ass when loading and unloading with a forklift) and my 12x5ft 8" Ifor towed awfully compared to the German trailer I have. I think that Ifor have a bit of a cult following now, and their value is a reflection of that cult status, not their build quality or practicality. 

Have you looked at graham Edwards trailers?
My dad has had a 14ft 6ft 6 for 10 years or so. Been a great trailer.
Just another one to look at

I haven't Richard, but I shall now :D

 

If money were no object, this would be my (and I suspect most people's) trailer of choice:

If only I could justify spending £7k on a trailer. It does everything!

Great looking trailer. But just asking to be over load with a load area of that  size
