Steve,
The box is about 35kg and allow for your kit

Trailers axles are 350 / 500 / 750 . when working out its load you must include the trailers weight too
If you have 500kg then you will be fine with two dart 15s and kit, 350 will be dangerous and 750 will do bigger cats as well.

Thanks Steve, Its not so much the trailer weight but more the towing weight.
on some tow bar there is a weight limit ie towing a car or towing a light trailer
I've already towed two boats to an event on the said trailer.
Cheers

Hi All

It is worth just checking all the welds for cracking as I found cracks in mine and Roberts trailers in Wales. Simple to repair (had mine plated at a fabricators) but could be expensive if it fails.
