Ifor williams or Brian James ?

If I can say something about ifors they can stand a hell of abuse! I have mine loaded up regularly with a 3 ton digger and it bounces a cross fields down washed out old tracks behind a tractor, it doesn't seem to give up. I was a bit dissapointed about the rivet issue mentioned earlier but other then that it has been a good trailer.

I brought mine LM10,6 flatbed brand new with caged sides and ramps for £2700 Inc VAT 4 years ago. I can't seem to get the same trailer for anywhere close to that now- the prices seemed to have rocketed!

I had good look at nugent trailers at Lamma show recently and I was well impressed. Look really well made and thought out. Would definitely be worth considering .

LM166 with sides and mesh £3400.00 + vat nearly the same price as a small car. There is very little technology they have not changed in 25 years and no engine ?

What's a trailer really got to do with a car?

You can buy a car for about £6000 and there is alot more work in building a car than a crude trailer.

You could try a different make of jockey wheel with smaller throw on the handle ? . I saw some BJ's tonight look better made and finished than the stuff IW are turning out and prices exactly the same.

 

Nice looking kindling

 

if you want a trailer and well made and local to you warrick at alresford.

and will build it to your spec if they do not have one that you require.

chap i know had one made to carry two cube of logs cracking trailer very strong and well built

And the £6000 car will be worth very little in 10 years time

I looked at both before settling on a Brian James triaxle. It will take 2.7t! It's a very strong trailer with Ali sides and understory ramps, electric tipper and really nice to tow. The only downside is you can't turn the jockey wheel down or up with the hand brake applied due to the handle hitting the hand brake. It's expensive but well worth it.
