Andreas Porschke – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, Boot 3 and TP8, 970 to 1,000 kg unladen weight, 3,000 to 3,500 kg gross weight
This page gathers the two Andreas Porschke trailers outside the named ranges: the Boot 3 and the TP8. The model name Boot 3 points directly to a boat trailer, German Boot meaning boat, while TP8 remains a plain code. Both versions are carried as separate registration entries with their technical values.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 970 to 1,000 kg, gross weights from 3,000 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 7,260 to 8,600 mm and widths from 2,490 to 2,570 mm.
At gross weights of 3 to 3.5 tonnes and lengths of over 7 metres, the focus is on long, narrow trailers for bulky loads rather than compact cargo trailers. On the Boot 3, the combination of considerable length and moderate weight points to a typical boat trailer, towable behind a car or van on a category B or BE licence.
On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame, skids and drawbar, and tyre and rim condition all count. On the boat trailer, the condition of the support or keel rollers and the function of the winch also belong on the checklist. Parts for such small makers typically come through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network. On older examples, checking the condition of tailgate hinges and locks, where fitted, is also worthwhile, along with the side supports on the boat trailer.

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.
