Bohlen & Paas – further models: the collective page for trailers outside the named series, MW75 and MW81, 2,220 to 3,080 kg unladen weight, 2,500 to 4,800 kg gross weight
This page collects the Bohlen & Paas trailers that the register does not assign to any named series. Two types are listed: MW75 and MW81. Both stand in the register as separate entries, and the designations themselves give no indication of a series logic.

The register lists 2 versions here with unladen weights from 2,220 to 3,080 kg, gross weights from 2,500 to 4,800 kg, lengths from 6,200 to 7,850 mm and widths from 2,430 to 2,540 mm.
With gross weights of 2.5 to 4.8 tonnes, the span runs from EU trailer category O2 to category O3; the boundary sits at 3,500 kg, above which a plain overrun brake is no longer permitted without separate type approval.
With gross weights of 2.5 to 4.8 tonnes, the range spans trailers within category BE up to versions that already require a category C towing vehicle; lengths of up to almost 8 metres point to platform or tandem-axle trailers for equipment and goods transport.
When buying used, check the condition of the axles and wheel bearings, the operation of the braking system and brake linkage, rust on the chassis and drawbar, and the condition of lighting and the electrical connector as well as tyres and wheels. Spare parts for such small makes usually come through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network; on the heavier of the two versions it is also worth checking the suspension and brake cylinders.

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.
