That is a really nice trailer

I'm looking for something similar myself, something like the williams trailer which you can store the ramps underneath, yet the trailer has the ability to be used as a regular trailer and not just a car transporter. And something that can handle the length and weight of a 110 Defender and has a winch built-in. And cheap...

Too much to ask? probably

Bloody hell, does it have to be gold plated too? I'm sure someone on here will own something similar. Besides 'Mog tho' thee had a 90 are you trying to find a 110?

You are not mistaken, I do have a 90 And if the trailer is gold plated and still cheap, sure!

The reason for needing a trailer that can take a 110 is due to a potential plan I have up here for liberating old Landy's that have been abandoned on farm yards, and making them available to the desiring masses

I can think of easier ways to make a living, buy hey, good luck.

It's not to make a living, I have a very well-paid job for that. This is purely hobby

Not sure I'd spoff 29 large up a Camel Toephy, but there is something street (cool) about it.

I think that Brian James is a little plant trailer for mini diggers and stuff. Not sure, Marmaduke may inform.
Ifor flatbed 3500kg would fit that bill. Available in quite few lengths. About 8-18 feet, I should think. Two widths,6ft and 6ft6. They can easily handle a landrover, often towed them.
They have the ramps underneath to load vehicles, also metal sides of one kind or another, so you can use as flatbed, or as needed. Think they are available with a winch bracket too.
Check out the Ifor website to letch, but the snag is with all that stuff, it is going to be very expensive new, and pretty expensive SH if it is any good.

It's funny how many people have said they like the trailer regardless of what's on it..... It's rated at 2.5 tonnes I think which is more than enough for a series I've hired a 3.5 tonne a few times and it's no where near as nice to tow. It's a tilting cargo trailer with the ability to take vehicles and I tow with my 90 quite happily. So come on Mog what's stopping you? You don't need a 110 or even a winch, the trailer has one of its own. It's not even mine it's hired from a place in Lichfield

Probably 2700kg. Most of the big couplings are 2700 or 3500kg.
Trailer probably weighs 750 kg, so well under with the series!

I stand corrected, I know if I could afford it and had somewhere to store it I'd buy that exact trailer, much better suspension than ifors. They charge me about 60 quid and I collected it Monday night and took it back Wednesday morning and it's worth over 3.5 grand brand new so I'm happy to keep hiring one for now

I am not certain, just seen a lot are 2700.
No problem towing 3500kg with a Ninety,by the way. Get it well set up, drives nicely!

I towed a discovery recently which had got a spare set of off road tyres with it, that was properly heavy but my defender happily towed it back from Reading
