This page gathers the Alco trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Alco is a trailer maker whose model line-up consists mostly of the letter-number combinations AT and AW with an appended payload or weight class (for instance AT 30 or AW 2000), supplemented by suffixes such as C, E, H and HL for different equipment or running-gear variants. It cannot be reliably determined from the model names alone whether and how AT and AW mark different body forms – such as open platform against closed body; the brand is poorly documented outside its regional sales area.

The register lists here 155 versions with unladen weights from 350 to 5,430 kg and gross weights from 1,000 to 10,000 kg. Lengths are recorded for only 15 of the models and range from 3,780 to 10,240 mm, widths from 1,490 to 2,650 mm.

With gross weights from 1 to 10 tonnes, Alco covers a broad span from the light car trailer to the medium-heavy tandem-axle unit for trades and agriculture, as is common among regionally active trailer builders.

When buying used, what counts is the condition of frame and welds, axles, brakes and the overrun coupling, the state of the lighting system and, depending on the body, the load bed and side boards; since the brand is little known, it is worth checking the chassis number against the registration papers before buying to confirm the exact payload class.

What to check before buying

  • Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
  • Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
  • Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
  • Compare the chassis number with the papers.
  • Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
