Weights & Compatibility
Are Eco-Trailer trailers suitable for electric or hybrid vehicles?
Yes, provided the vehicle has sufficient towing capacity and range considerations are understood.
Is my towing vehicle suitable?
Your towing vehicle must have sufficient towing capacity, nose weight allowance, and correct licence entitlement. We are happy to help check suitability.
What is nose weight and why does it matter?
Nose weight affects towing stability. Typically aim for 5–7% of the trailer’s gross weight, without exceeding limits.
What licence do I need to tow an enclosed trailer?
Licence requirements depend on vehicle and trailer weights. Please check DVLA guidance or ask our team for advice.
What should the tyre pressures be?
Tyre pressures depend on trailer load and tyre specification. Always refer to the manufacturer guidance supplied with the trailer.
What towing capacity do I need?
Your vehicle must be rated to tow the trailer’s maximum authorised mass (MAM). Always check manufacturer limits.
