Product Information

Ifor Williams TM162-2817 Tow-Max Trailer

The Ifor Williams TM162-2817 Tow-Max is a rugged twin-axle flatbed trailer designed for those who need more carrying capacity without compromising towing stability. With a 1600kg gross weight and a fully galvanised steel chassis, it combines durability, longevity, and reliability for both commercial and domestic use.

Its 2.80m × 1.75m load area comfortably accommodates bulky items such as machinery, building materials, or garden equipment. The twin-axle Paraflex suspension system ensures smooth towing and improved stability, even under maximum load, while the extended drawbar gives superior reversing control and reduced sway.

With a tough 15mm resin-bonded plywood floor and strong 450mm galvanised steel dropsides, the TM162-2817 is ready to handle demanding tasks. Its modular construction makes maintenance straightforward, and it comes supplied with a spare wheel and full LED lighting as standard.

This trailer is perfect for landscapers, small contractors, or homeowners looking to transport heavier loads safely and efficiently.
