WhatsApp about this trailerAbout this trailer
The 490kg utility trailer is the compact entry to the range, a single-axle 2.1 m by 1.2 m unit sized for the home, the garden and the odd hardware run. It is light enough to move by hand, tows behind almost any car, and at 490 kg GVM it needs no trailer brakes and no special licence.
What the 490kg utility trailer suits
This is the trailer for households and light users rather than trades. The 2.1 m by 1.2 m deck takes garden refuse, a few bags of cement, boxes on a move, or a small appliance, and its low weight means it barely affects a small car fuel-wise or on the tow ball. For anyone who needs a trailer a handful of times a month, it is the least trailer that does the job, which keeps the price down and storage easy.
Build and deck
It is built on a light steel channel chassis in a ladder-frame layout with a steel-plate floor, removable sides and a painted 2K Duco finish. The compact deck fits inside a standard single garage and stands on end against a wall when it is not in use. As a multi-purpose trailer the sides come off, so it works flat for a bulky item and sided for loose loads.

Towing and licensing
At 490 kg GVM this trailer is well under the 750 kg braking threshold, so it is unbraked and any driver with a code B licence can tow it behind a light vehicle. Check the towing capacity in your vehicle handbook and the general rules in the National Road Traffic Act. The supplier publishes no dependable tare, so we confirm the empty mass and payload in writing before you order.
