Bateson 0844 8' x 4' General Purpose Trailer – Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an operator’s licence to tow this trailer?
No. The 1300kg gross weight is well within the limits permitted without an operator’s licence or HGV regulations.
Is the Model 0844 suitable for use behind a large car or medium van?
Yes. The trailer is specifically designed to work safely and efficiently behind larger cars and medium vans with a suitable towing capacity.
What braking system does it use?
The trailer is fitted with overrun brakes with automatic braking on deceleration, operated via a cast steel hydraulic damped coupling.
Why choose the twin axle 0844 over the single axle 0842?
The twin axle configuration provides improved load distribution, greater stability at speed, and better handling when fully loaded — ideal if you regularly carry heavier or bulkier loads.
Can I add ramps, winches or side extensions?
Yes. A range of add-ons is available including a spring-assisted ramptail, 900kg hand winch, mesh extension sides, alloy treadplate floor, and more. See the add-ons table above.
