WhatsApp about this trailerAbout this trailer
Look at the wheel before you look at anything else. The Flatdeck 14 inch trailer carries the same 2 060 mm by 1 200 mm deck as the smaller half ton model, but it rides on 195 x 14 inch five stud wheels and an eight blade leaf pack instead of 155 x 13 inch rubber on six blades. Published tare is 270 kg against a 700 kg gross rating, leaving a stated payload of 430 kg.

What the 14 inch wheel actually changes
Three things. The tyre is a common light commercial size, so a replacement is available in any dorp with a fitment centre instead of only in the passenger car aisle. The taller sidewall and larger diameter roll over corrugation and farm track ruts with less shock going into the chassis. And the five stud hub takes a heavier wheel and a heavier brake drum than a small trailer hub would. None of it raises the legal carrying capacity, which stays governed by the 700 kg gross rating, but it changes how the trailer behaves on gravel and how long the running gear lasts.

Payload and licensing
Gross vehicle mass is 700 kg and the published specification lists no brakes, which is consistent with the law: braking becomes a requirement above 750 kg gross. Watch the tare on this one. At 270 kg empty it is the heaviest of the three half ton flatdecks, so the usable payload of 430 kg is the smallest of the three even though the trailer is visibly the toughest. Towing requirements are set out in the National Road Traffic Act, and your own vehicle tow bar rating is the other limit worth checking before you buy.
Where it sits between the half ton and the 3/4 ton
Below it, the Mini Flatdeck offers the same deck at 250 kg tare on smaller wheels for less money. Above it, the Mini Flatdeck 750 kg trailer with rails stretches the body to 2 360 mm by 1 400 mm and lifts the gross rating to 750 kg. This model is the middle answer for buyers who want gravel road running gear without a longer trailer to reverse. The full non-braked utility trailer range lists them side by side.
What the extra money buys
Our budget range does the same class of job at roughly half the price and is the sensible buy for occasional use. The step up here is measurable rather than cosmetic: a published tare and gross vehicle mass, an eight blade spring pack, a 1 250 kg axle carrying a legal half ton, galvanised sheet steel on body and floor, and a 195 x 14 inch spare on the trailer rather than an optional extra. On a farm road, spring count and wheel size are the two things that decide how the trailer ages.
Delivery, warranty and ordering
Priced above R20 000, so nationwide delivery is free, or collect from our yard in Hartswater in the Northern Cape. TRAILERS SA is a retailer and not the manufacturer, so the cover on this trailer is the builder warranty, which we administer on your behalf, with the detail set out on the warranty page. For a weather cover, a spare wheel carrier or a check against your own tow vehicle, send the details through the quote form.
Who buys this one
Farmers, contractors and game farm managers who tow on dirt more often than tar, and anyone who has already replaced a set of 13 inch trailer tyres and does not want to do it again. If the trailer will spend its life on tar behind a family car, the lighter model carries more for less. If it will spend its life on a farm track, this is the one.

Questions about this trailer
Why choose 14 inch wheels on a half ton trailer?
The 195 x 14 inch size is a light commercial tyre that is easy to replace anywhere, and the larger diameter absorbs corrugation better. It does not raise the legal payload, which is still set by the 700 kg gross vehicle mass.
What is the payload?
The published payload is 430 kg, being 700 kg gross vehicle mass less a 270 kg tare. That is the lowest of the three half ton flatdecks because this build is the heaviest.
Does it have brakes?
No. The published specification lists no brakes, and at 700 kg gross vehicle mass the trailer sits below the 750 kg threshold where a braking system is required.
Is the deck the same as the Mini Flatdeck?
Yes. Both use a 2 060 mm by 1 200 mm body with an 870 mm side height. The difference is in the wheels, the leaf pack and the resulting tare.
What does it weigh for delivery?
The published tare mass is 270 kg, so it ships on our light trailer rate and delivery is free anywhere in South Africa at this price.
