Got a herbst 10 tonne dump trailer, been very good and can carry a 7 tonne excavator, got a JPM 16 tonne 28' low loader trailer which moves the valmet harvester, built well and as i remember it was a good price. most of the stuff produced in the UK / Irish market is good and they are keen to sell. A mate of mine runs a fleet of Cheiftan low loader trailers behind large Fendt tractors

Not got one of those but have a Mcauley tri axle low loader, they look very similar, give them a shout, their prices are good too.

I have a Herbst Contractor low loader which is basically a pretty low spec unit, but perfect for the application I required it for.

I would say the quality is certainly good and better than some examples of trailers I have seen.

 

The only issues I have is problems getting grease into some of the nipples properly, but apart from that it's been an excellent bit of kit.

 

If I go again with a low loader I'll probably opt for a Kane unit as I very much like their hydraulic beavertail unit that doubles as a flat trailer and they build really nice units.

 

I'd recommend you look at an NC low loader as I'd consider these to be an excellent trailer that is very well thought out, with nice touches like the wooden floor higher than the metal side rails that helps loading tracked machines considerably.

 

Mine was ex demo so the price won't help you much but they're all usually keen for a deal.

iv used NC, chieften and mcauley, the chieften was the least stable, other two were very good trailers, NC would be my choice from them.
