I'll tell you if I ever sell mine...unlikely. Service I've had so far has been superb....they provided all the spanners and sockets etc in the toolbox, combination locks for the ramps and even sent me a wheel clamp and fitted a trickle charge lead foc.

I have yet to see an Atlas tipper in the flesh or tow one but I too have heard good reports. I wonder what how they hold value.

Personally for flatbed and plant my first choice is ifor.

When you say "cheap" what's your budget? Ifors hold their value and your unlikely to find one for next to nothing..they make good money on e-bay. You'll get what you pay for. Size depends on what you can pull and then how much you want to carry ( depends on the seasons as the turf can vary considerably in weight - teaching me grandma to suck eggs I know)

I'd definately go for a drop side ( as Paul has suggested) a fixed sided trailer is a real pain for loading and unloading. Forklift loading/pallets a must. Do you want to use it for anything else - tipping? Only buy once or repent at your leisure afterwards.I.M.O Atlas tippers are cheaper, better built and come with more optional extras than the Ifor....contraversial...prepare to be shot down in flames :~}

Atlas are very good, a couple of the guys I do tree work with now and again have them, very good value for money and very well made.
