3R8 Lightweight Linkwing Trailer

The Benefits of
Lightweight Trailers

28 August 2025

The 3R8 Lightweight Linkwing trailer gives you all the proven strength and versatility of the iconic MTE Linkwing — but in a lighter, smarter, and more compact design. With shorter axle spacing, it’s easier to manoeuvre in tight city streets, congested job sites, and restricted access areas where every metre counts.
