Any thoughts on Armitage Low Loading Transverse Motorcycle Trailer?

[Franm]

Hi folks, does anyone on here have any experience with the Armitage Low Loading Transverse Motorcycle Trailer?

https://armitages.uk/low-loading-transverse-motorbike/

My mate is looking for something like this for his camper but we can't seem to get any reviews or find clips showing a 1200GS or similiar sized bike being loaded.
He's an ex artic driver so I'm guessing he'll be okay as regards reversing.
He has borrowed my Motolug for a few trips but is not 100% happy running a big bike up the ramp on his own.
Your thoughts re this would be appreciated.
Cheers
Fran

I guess the big problem would be reversing such a short trailer, I've bought one of these for towing behind my MoHo https://www.sltc.co.uk/cochet/

Agree. I went for a Cochet too.

Looks to be similar to this style of trailer?

Thanks guys, that Cochet supplied one looks like exactly what he needs.

The bike is possibly too heavy for that excellent trailer. Do check.

Considering getting something like this. Just out of interest, does it kill your mpg I usually get just over 30mpg out of my 180bhp Ducato without towing anything.

My Cochet is up for sale here:

I've sold my Cochet trailer now (unless it falls through next week) but check out this obvious Cochet ripoff (but cheaper)

Have you thought about something like this. Carries 250kgs, but you will need to up rate the van to 3850kgs and fit air suspension. So not the cheapest option but much better than towing a trailer in my opinion.

That's a lot of weight hanging on the back of the van, bit like an overloaded top box
