They are popular in Europe, but a recent EU ruling has banned overrun braking on small turntable drawbar trailers, so the makers have had to drop them.

The legislation isn't retro-active so those in use can carry on with them.

We built that trailer in 2011 in the front garden.

did you just add a dollie to the front . looks like a lynton trailer.
you could have had leccy powered brakes . lynton used to do them . seen them on artic trailers .
i have driven steer axle milk trucks not easy to get used to. but looking at that pick it could have gone on quite a few chassis cabs as an artic . nice one.

Yes, and at 1.3 tonnes it isn't that light either!

It was 1.6 tonnes in the form pictured, but we took the big MOD chassis out from underneath and fitted our own axles with Bren Gun Carrier wheels.



First picture was 2011, latest shown above.
