Ive had experiences in jobs of the erde/ daxara/ camel type trailers - top notch little trailers, nice and light and an ideal for the rubbish run. Even had the job of assembling one - plenty of locktight on the nuts and nothing working loose. My old man had one very similar years ago and we always stored it round the back off the house - could turn it sideways and fit it through the door at the back of the garage and carry it straight through, thus preventing any light fingered scrap men from lifting it. It lasted well over 20 years and never lived in the garage just under a tarp.
Bought myself a trailer just over a year ago - wanted something unbraked as didnt have my B+E (do now though) and finally settled on an Ifor P6e - tows like a dream on the motorway and is very well built
Cost alot more than the erde ones, but i needed a drop down ramp to get kit in and out easily. A mate of mine ran a Paxton trailer for his tree surgery business for a while and gave nothing but praise for it and that was a flat packed trailer. There's a lot more extras available for the erde type trailers including lockable lids etc, so its probably worth spending a little time looking into all these too - many places off a deal, if you buy a package
My mother in law has an Erde something or other but under the other name they are sold under - Daxara. She's had it a good 10 years & it's got no rust on it at all. It's spent most of it's life buried in bushes until I pulled it out and pressure washed it last year & treated it to a spare wheel & cover.
