The 3 ton utility trailer is the heavy double-axle unit on a 4.0 m by 1.8 m deck, plated at 3 000 kg gross for the loads that would push a 2.3 ton trailer over its plate. It runs twin heavy leaf-sprung axles and a steel open-channel ladder-frame chassis, with a 2.0 mm floor and full removable sides.
What the 3 ton utility trailer is built for
Seven hundred kilograms of extra plating over the 2.3 ton unit, on a longer and wider 4.0 m by 1.8 m deck, makes this the trailer for contractors, plant-hire operators and farms moving genuinely heavy loads. Bricks, sand, a compact machine, drums of fuel or a full pallet load travel inside the licensed mass rather than against it, which is what keeps a working trailer legal at a weighbridge and predictable under braking.
Build and deck
The chassis is steel open channel in a ladder-frame layout, with a 2.0 mm lipped-channel or plate steel floor that stands up to point loads from machinery. It is finished in painted 2K Duco. As a multi-purpose unit it carries removable sides, so the same deck works flat for a pallet or sided for loose material, and the taller 1 000 mm sides on this grade hold a deeper load than the lighter models.

Payload, GVM and licensing
Plated at 3 000 kg gross, this trailer needs a tow vehicle with real braked towing capacity and, for most drivers, an EB licence code to cover the combination. The supplier does not publish a dependable tare, so we confirm the empty mass and the payload in writing before you order rather than print a figure we cannot verify. The licence and combination-mass rules are set out in the National Road Traffic Act, and we will work through them with you before you buy.

Where it sits in the range
This is the heavy 4.0 m option. Below it, the 2.3 ton 3.0 m unit plates lower for lighter loads. For a longer deck again, the 6.0 m version steps the length up on the same 3 000 kg plating. Compare the range under double-axle cargo trailers, or browse the full range.
