New ifor williams or indespension

[Gareth Dalzell]

I would not buy ifor out of choice. Brian james, followed by indespension. Ifor williams have the most pathetic locks on the hitch possible, all thats needed is a flat blade screwdriver and its busted. The indespension have a triplelock. I lost a key to mine once and tried to drill the lock out. It took me a couple of hours. I agree about the tipper problems. It has a channel at the back that constsntly gets filled with crap, along with poor welds, and silly catches on the mesh kit

 

I wouldn't get to excited about the indespension lock, we drilled ours out with a cordless drill and a sharp hss bit in under 60seconds, the inners were brass? and very soft. Our lock got hard to use after a year so out came the drill.

 

Having said that the ifor lock got grit in it and also become hard to use, but at least if its left unlocked you can still use the hitch.

If its outside they will take it. Even if you take four wheels and hitch off. They will bring their own put two on the back and chain through the A frame.

Regardless of the lock or trailer make unless you use a decent hitch lock that covers the two coupling head bolts its just a matter of undoing two m12 nuts and swapping the coupling head, a silent job that can be done in less than 60 seconds with a ratchet socket.

 

Personally I rate ifor Williams for towing stability, build and resale. After five years of daily abuse, full loads, high speeds and often pothole laden rural roads my ifor is still going strong all she has cost me is a set of tires plus break shoes.

I did the same with mine, the key snapped off in the lock one day and I just drilled it out. We now use a pair of long nose pliers as the 'key'.

They can take anything using a drop box. Made of plate with a slot cut in the back and drop the tow hitch in the slot and away then work on it at their leisure.

Often wondered if you could "legally" fit a tipper unit inside the ifor William Gd trailers. I prefer how the gd trailers tow with larger wheels.

 

Even thought about buying a second hand gd unit , removing body and placing a tipper unit on it.

I run a gd105 think its a great trailer and like you, i like the larger wheels and still quite a low load height

I have several ifors and indespention. The old Ifors I have are fantastic, the new have (in my opinion, having one a few months old and lots of welding) very poor build quality. If I were buying again I would go Brian James or Indespention.

 

I used to run an indespention challenger 8x5 (the old version of your photo) it is fantastic and I rarely had access issues.
