Bateson PT66 hydraulic tilt car transporter trailer review (& other PT models)

Video by Go Green Autos via YouTube

This is my review of the Bateson PT66 hydraulic tilt bed car transporter trailer. I’ve previously owned a Bateson PT56 too. In the video I go through all the features of the PT range ( Bateson PT32, PT44, PT56, PT66, PT66VT, PT76) and why I chose this trailer over the most popular Brian James T Transporter car trailer. I hope this video helps others who are looking to purchase a hydraulic tilt car transporter trailer.

Remember, if you’re towing for business use (not just hire or reward) and your train weight is over 3,500 kg, you need a tachograph. I got ours from Cannock Tachograph Centre Ltd who seemed the best at fitting them in 4x4s at a reasonable price.
This video was filmed in April 2025.
