Looks a substantial build compared to Easy lifter just make sure you have the load capacity on the rear.

You might be right Encantador. Although when I first saw the pic I thought an MP3 might fit. Mmmmm!

Having looked closer, depending on the space between the two end rails it might fit, would need the wheel stop moving and a second one added.

May also need a winch, not sure how easy it would be to push it up a ramp, holding both grips whilst climbing over the rear wheels.

I saw a similar one behind a French MH this year, it was carrying a MP3, I took some photos, will try and find them.

This is mine (adapted for MP3)

Not sure if the company is still around though.

looks odd to me, as though the wheels are in the wrong place, a lot of the weight would be hanging off the back. Must work though (you would hope).

don't the wheels swivel? looks like it has been reversed on to a drive maybe...

does type approval come into play with these sort of set ups...

I've just sent them an enquiry to ask. I'll let you know if and when they respond.
@davidcrossland
You need to ask also whether they comply with the post October 2012 new trailer regulations & are legal in the UK ?

One thing to remember if your thinking of getting a trailer with a raised platform for use with an MP3, you will have to either push it or ride it up the ramp. You can't stand at the side wth the engine running and power it up, which is what I used to do with the Gilera. There is a pressure switch under the seat which prevents the engine from being revved when no-ones sat on it.

Do not lose sight of the fact that they have a handbrake; useful in the loading process though I haul mine in with a 8:1 mainsheet from the boom of my yacht and that has its own jamming cleat.

You can see in pics 1 & 4 that a strut has to be put in place for reversing. This locks up the ball joint and the castor wheels do their job.
