Useful to know
A deep 14 cu.ft bed rated to 317kg turns four or five wheelbarrow trips into one, so the load moves at the speed of your ride-on rather than your legs.
Step on the foot-pedal release and the bed tips itself — soil, compost, gravel and chippings go exactly where you want them without a shovel in sight.

Spectrum SP22136 317kg Tipping Trailer
There is a point where the wheelbarrow stops being the sensible answer. Half a ton of bark chip on the drive, a felled ash to move down to the log store, a lawn's worth of scarified thatch — all of it is technically barrow work, and all of it turns into an afternoon of walking backwards and forwards with a tenth of the load. If you already have a ride-on or a garden tractor sitting in the shed, you have the pulling power to do it in a handful of trips instead. The SP22136 is the thing to put behind it.
317kg, and a bed that actually holds it
The rated capacity is 317kg (700lb), in a steel bed measuring 122 x 77.5 x 47cm — a genuine 14 cu.ft of space. Those two numbers matter together. Plenty of trailers quote a healthy weight rating on a shallow tray, which is fine for gravel and useless for anything bulky; 47cm of side depth is what lets you fill it with logs, prunings or bagged compost and still be nowhere near the limit. It is roughly four to five barrow loads in one trip, and you are riding rather than pushing.
Tip it with your foot, not your back
Unloading is where a trailer either saves you time or quietly gives it back. The SP22136 tips on a foot-pedal release, so you pull up where the load needs to go, step on the pedal and the bed does the work. No shovelling out, no dragging the tailgate off with your hands full. For loose materials — soil, compost, gravel, chippings — that is the difference between a two-minute job and a twenty-minute one, and it is the reason a tipping trailer is worth the modest premium over a fixed-bed cart.
Off-road tyres, because gardens are not car parks
The trailer runs on 16-inch (450-8) pneumatic off-road tyres. Solid wheels are cheaper and they are fine on a yard, but the moment you take a loaded trailer across soft turf they sink in and start tearing the surface. Pneumatic tyres of this size float over wet lawn, ruts and rough tracks, and they spread the weight enough that you are not left with a pair of tramlines to repair afterwards. Towing is via a simple hitchpin and hole arrangement, so it will go behind most ride-on mowers, garden tractors and compact tractors without adaptation.
What it is for
This is a smallholding, paddock, estate and large-garden machine. Moving logs from where the tree came down to where it will be seasoned. Getting a delivery of topsoil from the drive to the beds. Clearing an autumn's leaf fall in three trips. Carting fencing materials, feed, tools and rubble out to wherever the work is. At 52.4kg empty it is substantial enough to feel solid under load, and light enough to reposition by hand when it is empty.

Backed for five years
Spectrum machinery carries our 5-year warranty — unusual in a category where two years is the norm, and a fair reflection of what a steel trailer with no engine and no electronics ought to last. Buy it once, and expect it to still be doing the same job in a decade.
