Benford SB18: the only trailer of this brand outside the named ranges, model year 2009, 3,500 kg gross weight, 695 kg unladen weight
Benford is a British manufacturer known chiefly for construction equipment such as dumpers and mixers. This page carries the brand's only trailer model that the register did not assign to a named range: the SB18 from 2009. The model name itself gives no size or model-year order among other units.

The SB18 has a gross weight of 3,500 kg against an unladen weight of 695 kg, giving a payload of 2,805 kg. It stands on two closely spaced axles and is 2,450 mm wide, dimensions that point to a compact, agile trailer for moving equipment rather than for bulky loads.
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the SB18 falls into EU category O2, where the brakes are usually an overrun design: as the tow vehicle brakes, the trailer pushes forward onto the coupling and this action triggers its own brake. For a construction-equipment maker, a trailer of this size typically serves to move smaller tools and machines within the brand's own range, not the heavy plant itself.
On a used example, what counts is the condition of the axles and wheel bearings, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on the frame and drawbar, and the state of lighting, plug and tyres. On a trailer with closely spaced axles, it is also worth checking the axle mounts on the frame, since this layout loads the bearings more than a chassis with wider-set axles.
