Carbo CAT F24

The register lists here 23 versions with unladen weights from 280 to 2,160 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,730 to 2,500 mm; lengths are recorded for the largest versions from 5,300 to 7,260 mm.

The span from 1.3 to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight and widths up to 2.5 m covers single-axle small to medium braked tandem trailers, as used in agriculture and landscaping for material and machinery transport. The several parallel series stand for different equipment and payload levels within the same line-up. Buyers in this segment typically match the model to towing-vehicle capacity and driving-licence category rather than to a specific series name.

When buying used at this trailer class, check the frame and load floor for rust, the condition of the tow eye, jockey wheel and overrun brake with its cables, the lighting function, and tyre age regardless of tread; on the larger tandem units, also check the axle bearings, suspension and the frame welds at the axle mounts. Matching the chassis number to the registration papers is a particularly important check on trailers without strong brand recognition.
