Anssems multi-purpose trailers: which uses do they suit?

Anssems is one of the brands in our range, known for versatile open flatbed trailers – so-called multi-purpose trailers – suited to a wide range of transport jobs. Here's an overview of what this body style is particularly good at.

What is a multi-purpose trailer?

A multi-purpose trailer is an open flatbed with a flat, continuous deck and usually a low loading height – ideal for bulky or irregularly shaped loads without side walls. Unlike a box trailer, it offers maximum flexibility for loading from above or from the sides.

Typical uses

Multi-purpose trailers are particularly suited to transporting machinery, motorcycles, furniture, building materials or garden equipment – wherever the shape of the load doesn't fit an enclosed body. They're also a practical solution for the occasional move or bulky-waste run.

Load securing on an open body

Since side walls are missing or low on a multi-purpose trailer, load securing matters especially. Lashing eyes along the deck and suitable ratchet straps are basic equipment on this trailer type and should be used on every trip.

Conclusion

A multi-purpose trailer like Anssems' models wins through versatility rather than specialisation. If you regularly transport a wide variety of loads and don't need an enclosed body, this body style is a flexible solution.
