The 1.3 ton utility trailer is the braked single-axle step up from the 750 kg range, a 3.0 m by 1.5 m multi-purpose unit plated at 1 300 kg gross. The extra plating nearly doubles what you can legally carry over a 750 kg trailer while keeping a single axle, and it is offered in three grades so you match the build to the load.
What the 1.3 ton utility trailer carries
At 1 300 kg GVM this trailer is built for real working loads: a full pallet, drums of fuel or water, building material or a small machine that would put a 750 kg trailer over its plate. It runs a braked axle, so the tow vehicle helps stop the load rather than being shoved by it, which matters as soon as you are carrying more than half a tonne. It stays a single-axle trailer, so it is lighter and easier to manoeuvre than a tandem of similar capacity.
Choosing the grade
The Standard grade runs 800 mm sides on a 1.6 mm floor for general cargo. The Heavy-Duty grade steps the floor up to 2.0 mm and the sides to 1 000 mm for deeper, denser loads and rougher daily use. The Heavy-Duty build is also available with mesh sides for loose material. All three share the same 1 300 kg plating, braked axle and 76 mm open-channel chassis.

Payload, braking and licensing
Plated at 1 300 kg gross on a braked 1 600 kg axle, this trailer needs a tow vehicle rated for a braked trailer of this mass. The supplier does not publish a dependable tare, so we confirm the empty mass and payload in writing before you order rather than quote a figure we cannot verify. Because it is over 750 kg it must be braked, and the licence and combination-mass rules are set out in the National Road Traffic Act; we will check your vehicle rating with you.
Where it sits in the range
This is the entry braked single-axle option. Below it, the unbraked 750 kg 3.0 m unit shares the deck but carries far less. Above it, the 1.8 ton 4.0 m unit plates higher on a longer deck. Compare the range under braked utility trailers.
