In the market now for a trailer myself, I'm looking at TT3017, I don't see a better option. Possibly the tt3621.... but is massive and I'm almost certainly going to overload, if anyone has pearls of wisdom for buying trailers - I'm all ears!

I think Nugent are the king of tipping trailers personally. But pricey and quite heavy.
Bateson make a very nice 12x6 triple axle tipper that isn't too heavy and if your after a lower deck height their tipper is the same deck height as their flat beds.

It's painful.... I'm going to struggle forking out 6 - 7 k but that's what they cost now sadly. I'm suprised the Chinese haven't got into the market 😂

Plywood deck on the bateson puts me off a bit, the nugent looks lovely, hardened steel floor would cope better than aluminium you get on the ifors, and the suspension looks interesting.... it's leaf springs with some kind of dampener. Gonna be pricey though 😢

The tt3017 is a great size trailer. It will happily carry a 2.6t machine 🤫 or 4 bulk bags or a bundle of 3m soil pipe. 4.8m timber fits nicely in the centre of the trailer sat on head board and tail board. 6m soil pipe sat on the head board with a packer will clear pickup truck bed. Dowsides are the ramps are poorly designed and design means its difficult to get wheel barrows under the back even with ramps under the trailer.

Bateson will add what you want. Probably the best trailer company for adapting their range to your needs👍

I think that's more important nowadays, a company that actually listens to what you want and makes it to suit rather than us buying a general product and making it suit.

Obviously it's not the cheaper outlay but worth is in it been what you want to suit your needs.

I'm talking generally not just trailers.

It is annoying you can’t get barrows under tipped Ifor unless you back into onto blocks etc especially belle warrior barrows etc

Even backing onto block it isn't ideal.
I did see an Irish firm that had a wedge they put in the back and extended sides so it essentially tipped over the top of the tailgate.
I think if a company came up with a way of tipping higher and putting chutes on their tipper trailer they would be onto a winner
