Menke-Janzen – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, from the low-loader through livestock transporters to the Tridem Aanhanger, 1,470 to 12,560 kg unladen, up to 40 t gross weight
This page gathers the Menke-Janzen trailers from Bakum in the Vechta district that the register could not assign to a named range. Bakum lies in the Lower Saxon centre of farm-machinery and trailer manufacturing, and the programme shows correspondingly heavy commercial trailers: the four-axle low-loader, the livestock transporter and the Dutch-labelled Tridem Aanhanger, a trailer with three axles in a row. Type codes such as GFA2500 or 40-4-562 sit alongside spelt-out designations of purpose and build.

The register lists here 13 versions with unladen weights from 1,470 to 12,560 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 40,000 kg, lengths from 8,110 to 12,600 mm and widths from 2,480 to 2,550 mm.
The span thus runs from vehicle class O2 up into class O4 above 10 tonnes gross weight: farming and commercial customers use the heavy versions as low-loaders for machinery and as livestock transporters, for which a towing vehicle with its own service brake system is required. With lengths of up to 12.6 metres and a width around 2.5 metres, the largest models belong to the heavy-duty trailers of agricultural transport.
On a used example, the heavy versions call for checking the condition of frame, axles and braking system, the function of the hydraulic or loading ramps, corrosion on load-bearing parts and the condition of the tyres, and on livestock transporters also ventilation and the floor covering; spare parts for axles, brakes and lighting run through the farm-machinery trade.

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.
