WhatsApp about this trailerAbout this trailer
The dropside trailer 4m is a longer, wider working trailer at 4.0 m by 2.2 m, plated at 2 300 kg gross, with 300 mm drop sides and a rear gate. The extra width over the 3.0 m unit takes paired pallets and wide loads, while the fold-flat sides keep it as versatile as a flatbed when you need an open deck.
What the dropside trailer 4m carries
At 2.2 m wide with sides that drop, this is the do-everything trailer for a builder or farm. Sides down, it loads two pallets side by side or a wide load by forklift; sides up, it carries sand, rubble, bagged material or loose cargo without spilling. One trailer covers the flatbed job and the tipper-style loose-load job, which is why the 4 m dropside is such a common working choice.
Build and deck
The deck is a 2.0 mm steel-plate floor on a 76 x 38 x 5 mm open-channel ladder-frame chassis, wheels under the trailer to keep the full 2.2 m width. The 300 mm drop sides and rear gate are plated on a steel frame and hinge flat. It runs twin 1 600 kg leaf-sprung axles, is braked, and is finished in painted 2K Duco.

Payload, GVM and licensing
Plated at 2 300 kg gross on 1 600 kg axles and braked as standard, this trailer needs a tow vehicle with matching braked towing capacity. The supplier publishes no dependable tare, so we confirm the empty mass and payload in writing before you order. Load securing, sides up or down, sits with the towing driver under the National Road Traffic Act.
Where it sits in the range
This is the mid dropside. The 3.0 m dropside is more compact, while the 3 ton 4.0 m dropside plates higher on the same deck. For a permanently open deck, see the matching 4.0 m flatbed. Compare the range under double-axle cargo trailers.
