Trailer to hire or borrow in Shropshire?

[BobMet]

I'd like to trailer my new build from Much Wenlock to the Kidderminster test centre on 10th Jan, but the only trailer I can find to hire locally is a 17 FT Ivor Williams CT177 which is 6.7 M long x 2.3 M wide, far bigger than I need for a Westie and too much of a handful around my house.

 

Does anyone have a smaller trailer they can lend or hire out to me, or know where I may be able to find one?

Yeah, I had to use a similar size to move my Westfield when I moved house. Best avoided to be honest, a devil to manoeuvre in the road, to back up and turn round. But more annoyingly, the wheel track of the Westfield was narrower, slightly, than the wheel ramp width, made it quite precarious loading and unloading, with no room for error, and the car did the 15 minute travel between houses with one side of the cars wheels, more or less resting on the inner retaining edge of the trailers platform.

I've got a Minno Max in Oswestry you are welcome to borrow.

I work in Shrewsbury so could probably work out to meet in Shrewsbury somewhere save you coming to Oswestry to collect👍

I'll have a look at my shifts and let you know

@CosKev that would be brilliant if we can come to an arrangement, thanks.

If your stuck & can’t borrow Kev’s for some reason your welcome to borrow mine.

May not be as convenient as Kev’s as I’m on the Worcestershire/Shropshire boarder 4 miles out of Bewdley.

That's very kind, thanks @Andy (Sycho).

What a club! Thanks @LiamMc and @Nemesis for your offers. I'll catch up with @CosKevsoon to see if he's OK to lend me his, and if that's not possible I'll contact all those kind members who've offered me a backup trailer to see who I can inconvenience the least!
