My Woodford has served me very well and is considerably lighter that Petes BJ trailer that I have also towed. The Woodford is Ideal for minis ,but anytime I've tried to collect a modern small call, it has been too narrow, so not usable for anything other than a narrow classic car

I have a Brian James Sprint shuttle covered trailer.
It’s a fantastic piece of kit and it tows perfectly. I have always owned BJT trailers for the simple reason of build quality and the fact that they hold their price really well on the used market.
I am about to put my covered trailer up for sale as I find it difficult to move around now.
I have looked at Woodford trailers but the twin axle BJT C4 comes out on top all day long as a replacement for the shuttle.

Would love a covered trailer, sick of cleaning sprayed on sh*t off Minis. :lol: . Big luxury though and of course storage is always the issue.

When we've had a covered trailer at our place ,they are a 4 man job to manoeuvre around...and they suffer badly from vibration fatigue form what I've seen..

Just get a strong cover and strap it over the Mini

I really like the Stema WOM trailers - with their hydraulic lift function loading and unloading is like shelling peas. Available perfectly sized for a Mini and in various other sizes and load capacities.
This one has a load capacity of 1285 kg and 351 × 169 cm (though for the Mini the smaller one at 301x169 would do too)
