Demag – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, from SC 30 DS to SD 25 AFP, 730 to 1,190 kg unladen weight, 850 to 1,400 kg gross weight
This page gathers the trailers the register lists under the name Demag without assigning them to a named range. The twelve type names cluster around two prefixes, SC and SD, each followed by a two-digit number, the suffix DS or AFP and often a running version number such as -01, -1 or -2 – recognisably several development stages of the same base types SC 30, SC 40, SC 50 and SD 25, though no certain meaning of the letters themselves can be determined.

The register lists here 12 versions with unladen weights from 730 to 1,190 kg, gross weights of 850 to 1,400 kg and widths of 1,340 to 1,630 mm.
With gross weights up to 1.4 tonnes and widths under 1.7 metres, the programme sits at the lower end of the braked trailer class, as used for compact loads behind cars. For registration, besides the trailer's gross weight the tow vehicle's rated towing capacity is always decisive as well.
On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, the state of lighting and plug, and tyres and rims all count. Since the SC and SD versions clearly reflect several development stages of the same base type, it is worth matching the exact version number against the data plate when buying parts; parts run through independent trailer workshops rather than a maker's own network.

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.
