How to Choose the Right Trailer
Pick the right trailer by matching your job, load and tow vehicle.
1) Intended use → Trailer family
Cars & motorsport: Auto Cruiser (open aluminium) or Galaxy enclosed for security/weather.
Plant & machinery: Heavy-duty flatbed (twin/tri-axle, long ramps).
Motorbikes: Single/twin/multi-bike with chocks.
General goods/events: Galaxy enclosed
2) Payload capacity
Know the real all-in weight (vehicle/equipment + fluids + tools + accessories). Choose axle count (single/twin/tri) to match payload and stability.
3) Dimensions & access
Measure L × W × H and check door apertures, ramp length/angle, deck height, lashing-point positions (and internal height for enclosed).
4) MAM, towing limits & licence
MAM (Maximum Authorised Mass): the legal max loaded weight of the trailer. Find it on the VIN plate/CoC.
Payload = Trailer MAM − Unladen weight.
GTW/GCW: max legal weight of tow vehicle + trailer together.
Braked towing limit: max the vehicle can pull (with trailer brakes).
Nose weight: vertical load on towball—must not exceed the lower of towbar or hitch rating.
Your licence category must cover the combination.
Quick example:
Tow vehicle braked tow 2,000 kg, GTW 4,500 kg. Trailer MAM 2,700 kg, unladen 700 kg.
Trailer’s actual weight must be ≤ 2,000 kg (vehicle limit), so max trailer payload = 2,000 − 700 = 1,300 kg, and van actual + trailer actual ≤ 4,500 kg.
5) Construction & durability
Aluminium beds (Auto Cruiser): light, corrosion-resistant, smooth loading for cars.
Galvanised/steel flatbeds: maximum toughness for sites/forklift/ramp use.
Galaxy enclosed: semi-aluminium shell for security, cleanliness and branding.
6) Features that save time
Tilt bed, winch (manual/electric), ramp type/length, lashing rings/floor rails/load stops, mesh sides/ladder rack/beacons/tool boxes, optional shocks (tri-axle Galaxy).
7) Budget & lifetime cost
Look beyond the ticket price: payload, loading speed, durability, residuals and warranty. Woodford trailers are EU Type Approved, hold strong resale values, and include up to a 5-year chassis warranty.
