Platform Trailers

Platform trailers are manufactured in three weight ranges: 2 tons, 2.6 tons, and 3.5 tons, with body lengths from 2.5 metres to 5 metres and up to 7 metres as specials. Standard widths are 1.5, 1.8, and 2 metres, but they can be manufactured to 2.1, 2.3, and up to a maximum of 2.5 metres wide. Trailers that are 4.3 metres and longer are available with a sloping beaver tail or full hydraulic tilt and ramp door.

Trailer chassis are welded in one piece and hot-dipped galvanised. They have a phenol-coated plywood floor with level side rails and sockets for a removable headboard, centre posts, and rear corner posts. Standard specification includes full EU lighting, including reversing lamps and front markers.

Amber side marker lamps are fitted on trailers 5 metres long and larger. Trailers over 2.1 metres wide also have extra rear outline lights. Mudguards, mud flaps, a spare wheel, and a jockey wheel are also standard.

The PF models of Bateson platform trailers are available in all the standard body sizes but with lower chassis and fitted with 195 x 10 wheels and tyres, allowing the lowest possible deck height of 550 mm.

They are available with twin axles at 2600kg or three axles at 3500kg, similar to our successful PT hydraulic tilt models. All models can be fitted with optional equipment, as listed, to suit your exact application at a competitive price.
