The best big trailer maker...
I am after a fairly hefty, possibly four axle, trailer for a 5 ton 1m cabin RIB.
My first thought was RM or possibly Hayling, but I am open to recomendations if you have any.

I have say, I have not seen one that big before. 4 axles will scrub like a b*tch and eat tyres for breakfast. What will you tow it with?

All true
The trailer will be towed by a tractor and only between crane and shed, so it does not need to be very dainty.

Why not stick a set of bunks on an old wagon and drag drawbar trailer? It'd probably be cheaper.

CLH trailers make some very good ones at very reasonable prices - triple axle for what most people charge for a twin.
The trailers are very heavy duty - easily carry a 12m Quinquari Humber with 2x inboard diesels and a massive trawler style cabin.
http://www.clh-trailers.co.uk/sm/index.php?link=6
I think the triple axle will carry 5 tons ok.
Guess what I am about to order................
