Refinements to the design of Bailey Trailers’ beavertail low-loader include a more flexible means of securing the ramps for easier greasing and to accommodate different loads.

Using a turnbuckle for each ramp means they can be tilted rearwards from an upright position to allow slightly longer loads or forwards from upright, which reveals the ramp pivot greasing points.

Lashing rings have been moved from the top of the deck to the sides, where each is tucked away in a recess until being pulled out to expose the ring.

This arrangement makes them more accessible, Bailey Trailers points out, when loads extend to the edge of the deck.

The Bailey Beavertail is available in 15t and 20t capacity versions, running on tandem and triple axles, respectively, with four deck lengths from 7m to 10m for the 15-tonner, and 8m to 13m in six lengths.

Each comes with a 1.5m sloping deck to the rear and two hydraulically raised and lowered loading ramps.

Prices start at £17,500 for a 7m Beavertail 15 and £23,150 for an 8m, 20t version.
