Direktbouw – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges with the BD and DB abbreviations, 950 to 2,030 kg kerb weight, a consistent 2.17 to 2.20 m width
This page gathers the Direktbouw trailers the register could not assign to its own named range. Almost all type designations begin with BD or DB, followed by one or two digits and a letter suffix such as 2W, 4WS, 4WT or 6WST that distinguishes the individual version within the programme; one model carries the different designation Schaftwagen. The suffix spelling itself varies between a space, a hyphen and a slash (for example DB-4-4WS alongside DB 6 4WS), pointing to several written variants of the same type programme in the register.

The register lists 22 versions with kerb weights from 950 to 2,030 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,350 to 3,500 kg and widths from 2,170 to 2,200 mm.
The narrow width span of just three centimetres shows a consistently standardised programme within the permitted road width, typical of transport trailers in commercial use. As a collective brand without a named range, Direktbouw sits in the register alongside other manufacturers of similarly standardised commercial trailers.
When buying used, check above all the condition and load capacity of the axles, the function of the brake system, corrosion on the frame and load platform, and the condition of the lashing points. On the multi-axle WS and WT versions, axle alignment and even tyre wear are worth an additional look, and on the Schaftwagen model, the condition of the body and its hinges. Parts for axles and brakes at this payload class are usually sourced through specialist commercial-vehicle workshops.

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.
