Karosseriewerke Dresden – other models: the collective page of East German trailers outside the named ranges, IFA 390 types and the HP range, 530 to 920 kg unladen weight, 800 to 2,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Karosseriewerke Dresden trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The designation I.F.A. 390 L refers to the Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau, East Germany's vehicle-industry association, under which the Karosseriewerke Dresden built its vehicles; alongside it the register lists the HP range (HP 1085, HP 1385, HP 8083) and the K 450 A type.

The register lists 14 versions with unladen weights from 530 to 920 kg, gross weights from 800 to 2,000 kg and widths from 2,000 to 2,290 mm.
Trailers of this weight class served as car and agricultural trailers for transport and general cargo in East Germany and are still used today as collector vehicles and in everyday service; the variety of IFA and HP designations reflects the centralised production structure of the East German vehicle industry. Many versions continued in private use or were restored after 1990, so condition and paperwork vary considerably from one vehicle to the next.
On a used trailer, the condition of the axle, brake and overrun brake device, rust on the frame and side panels after decades of service, the function of the lighting system, and tyres and wheel bearings all count; on these historic types the parts supply through collector and vintage-vehicle networks also needs checking. On these types, matching the chassis number to the vehicle papers also deserves particular attention.

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.
