Description
This 6×4 utility trailer is the Apache 71B-300, a compact drop-panel trailer built for fast loading from any angle. Both the front and rear panels drop down, so you can slide long items through or rake out loose loads, and it is galvanised and built in the UK.
About the Apache 71B-300
The Apache 71B-300 is a compact 6ft x 4ft drop-panel utility trailer built for fast, easy loading from any angle. Both the front and rear panels drop fully flat, giving you a clear, unobstructed bed for sliding heavy items in and out — yet stand 300mm tall when up, high enough to keep mid-sized loads securely contained while you tow. Built around a heavy-duty galvanised steel chassis with hot-dipped galvanised solid sides and floor, it’s road-ready and fully UK & EU type-approved for personal or light commercial use.

Why this 6×4 utility trailer earns its keep
Galvanised steel is the reason Apache open trailers last. Paint chips and lets rust in; a hot-dipped zinc coating protects the steel inside and out. Add a solid steel floor and heavy-duty suspension and you have a trailer that copes with tip runs, building materials and agricultural use for years.
The layout of sides, cage, ramp or tailgate decides what it’s best at. Cages add height for light, bulky loads such as hedge cuttings, ramps suit anything on wheels, and drop panels make it quick to rake out loose loads.
Typical jobs
- Tip runs and garden clearance
- Building materials and DIY projects
- Moving mowers, garden machinery and small plant
- Farm, stable and smallholding work

Getting the most from it
Spread heavy loads evenly and keep the weight slightly forward of the axle. A fitted cover keeps loads dry and stops waste blowing out. Check your car’s towing limit before loading up, and see the GOV.UK guide to towing with a car for licence rules.
