Doors open over the arches on mine AND u can lift the trailer at one end by your self. 3 people would carry it easy. no more than 180kg i'd say,
Good trailer, must be as it is borrowed so regularly.
Cheers

Aaron

I attach mine to the trailer by putting a chain through the rear subframe in front of the rubber cone, then use a ratchet strap i hook it to the castor arms around the bar on the front of the trailer & back to the other castor arm, ratchet it up till it tightens the chain & it won't move a millimeter, also note i have a couple of peices of garden hose over the threads of the adjustable castor arms. You can see it in the 2nd pic of my trailer

weve been looking into this recently for the race car, i found that bob cat trailers are about the right length and width for minis, and that u can pick them up cheaply at council auctions, so i think i will be getting one of them
