Germania – other models: the collective page of livestock trailers outside the named ranges, the Animal model family plus Runner and Senior, 380 to 1,060 kg unladen weight, 1.2 to 2.8 t gross weight
This page gathers the Germania trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The core of the range is the Animal model family in the I, II and IV versions, supplemented by the Runner and Senior families and the numerically named types M 2500, M 2800 and S 1600. One entry also carries the company name Germania-Fahrzeugbau directly as the type designation.

The register lists here 21 versions with unladen weights from 380 to 1,060 kg, gross weights from 1,200 to 2,800 kg and widths from 1,800 to 2,450 mm.
The Animal model family points to the main purpose of these trailers: transporting cattle and other livestock, for which enclosed or part-enclosed bodies with ventilation, a non-slip floor and adequate headroom are needed. The weight class up to 2.8 tonnes gross weight corresponds to trailers for one or two large animals or a correspondingly larger number of smaller ones. Access on livestock trailers of this size is usually through a rear loading flap that doubles as a ramp.
On a used livestock trailer, the condition of the floor (corrosion and moisture under the rubber mat), the ventilation, the partitions and their latches, the axle, suspension and brakes, and the frame and drawbar for corrosion all count in particular, along with the function of the loading flap and its latch.

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.
