KIP trailers up to 3.5 t (Class O2) – Dutch box trailers with over 50 years of model history, G/HY/S type codes back to model year 1970: 521 versions, unladen weights 200 to 1,600 kg, gross weights up to 2 t
Class O2 groups together, according to registration data from the Netherlands and Finland, all trailers with a permissible gross weight from 0.75 to 3.5 tonnes. KIP is a Dutch trailer manufacturer whose register models are in part explicitly listed with a model year, such as "MODEL 1969" or "MODEL 1970" – an indication of a model line already in existence before 1970 and continued ever since. The type codes follow a pattern of a number and a letter code for the body type, for example G and GH for open, S and SGB for closed, and HY and HYB for hydraulically tipping versions.

The register lists 521 versions with unladen weights from 200 to 1,600 kg and permissible gross weights from 770 to 2,000 kg. Lengths are recorded for 71 of the 521 vehicles and range from 4,600 to 7,350 mm, width for all 521 versions from 1,810 to 2,500 mm.
With over 500 versions in the lower weight range up to 2 tonnes permissible gross weight, KIP is among the manufacturers of small utility trailers with the most models in the register; the consistent recording of historical model years also shows how long the Dutch trailer fleet stays in use and remains traceable through registration data.
For a used trailer of this type, check the function and adjustment of the overrun device including the handbrake, the condition of brake linings and drums, rubber torsion axles for cracks and settling behaviour, frame and floor corrosion, and a functioning lighting system. For the older, in some cases decades-old versions, a particularly thorough frame inspection is needed, plus generally the age of the tyres regardless of tread depth.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.

- 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.
