Kar – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, from the light KL and VS types to the heavy KAR aluminium semi-trailers, 300 to 7,900 kg unladen weight, 800 to 36,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Kar trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The programme runs from the lighter KL, KC, KE and KI types and the VS series (for example VS 2500 S, VS 3500 S) to the markedly heavier aluminium versions designated KAR-4-36-AL-…. This span from light trailers to heavy-transport semi-trailers under a single brand name shows a programme that covers several vehicle classes under one name.

The register lists here 47 versions with unladen weights from 300 to 7,900 kg, gross weights from 800 to 36,000 kg, lengths from 10,200 to 11,450 mm and widths from 1,600 to 3,000 mm.
Such a span from the light class to the heavy-transport semi-trailer occurs more often with trailer makers whose range, alongside series models, also includes custom special versions for agriculture, construction or the haulage trade.
On a used example, different points count depending on the version: on the lighter KL and VS types axle, braking system and side panels, on the heavy aluminium KAR versions additionally the condition of the aluminium structure (cracking, corrosion at welds), axles and braking system under high payload; spare parts in this vehicle class usually run through specialist commercial-vehicle suppliers.

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.
