Description[]
The MB681 Excavator Trailer was a trailer with an excavator, that was introduced in 2005 and used in Hitch 'n' Haul Series. In its lifespan, the trailer was modified on multiple occasions to fit add-on accessoires.
In 2022, a retooled version of the trailer made a comeback in the Hitch & Haul range, now called the 'MBX Utility Flatbed Trailer', or 'MBX Flat Trailer'. Yet again, this trailer was used for multiple purposes, each of which received a separate MAN-number.
