I have some photos I took of mine somewhere, but it was made before the current folks owned the company and tidied/improved them.
You can have whatever size you want. Mine is a 14’ triaxle with wheels on the outside and I can get fifty 45-47kg hoggs in easily enough (around the farm).
I spoke to someone a month or so back that had a new 14’ triaxle with wheels underneath and he reckoned he could get fifty five 50kg hoggs in his.
Like all 14’ triaxles, the legal towing capacity would make more difference to how many lambs you can get in, if you were taking it on a main road….
Do you loose much space with the lifting deck?
Borrowed my brothers 14ft wheels on the outside gamic last April or May and took 55 hoggets to Builth they averaged 48 kilos and were full of wool I knew it was behind meI have some photos I took of mine somewhere, but it was made before the current folks owned the company and tidied/improved them.

Just get one ordered you won’t regret it. The price and waiting list just keeps getting bigger the longer you wait!Anyone any pics or videos of there gic lifting deck in action? How many sheep can you get in a 14ft one?

Don't think I'd do it again to be honest much over 40 and she was snaking fairish, it wasn't a pleasant journeyWatch out for vosa on the rhayader road on a Friday. They'd love to see you
I'm only five miles out and I borrowed a three axle Ifor trailer to pop 20 Welsh ewes in. Frightened me to death. Think the hitch height was too lowDon't think I'd do it again to be honest much over 40 and she was snaking fairish, it wasn't a pleasant journey
What was the towing vehicle?Borrowed my brothers 14ft wheels on the outside gamic last April or May and took 55 hoggets to Builth they averaged 48 kilos and were full of wool I knew it was behind me
L200 brother has got a 3.2 ranger and its twice the vehicle for towingWhat was the towing vehicle?
They’re 14’ plus the front nose, so theres more room than a standard 14’, as Neilo says, the well takes up very little room, I’ve never had to load less on the top to make up for it.Anyone any pics or videos of there gic lifting deck in action? How many sheep can you get in a 14ft one?
just past bsw sawmills between newbridge and builthWatch out for vosa on the rhayader road on a Friday. They'd love to see you
What was the reason for needing to replace the axles? How many did you replace?I can get between 40 and 50 ewes in my graham edwards 14ft demount. It tows fairly well full, especially now I've had the axles replaced.
