POLAR – other trailers: collective page outside the named ranges, with the CTH, GS and TR codes for different equipment variants, 850 to 2,650 kg gross weight
This page gathers POLAR trailers that the register could not assign to a named range. The type designations combine a three- or four-digit base number such as 520 or 620, which by the maker's logic gives the size class, with codes for the equipment variant such as CTH, GTH or GS and in part an attached decimal such as 2.3 or 2.5 for special features of the given version; older and newer model years of the same base number often run side by side in the register under slightly different spellings.

The register lists here 131 versions with unladen weights from 650 to 2,150 kg, gross weights from 850 to 2,650 kg, lengths from 6,520 to 9,340 mm and widths from 2,040 to 2,550 mm.
The combination of comparatively low weight, considerable length and the broad range of equipment variants is typical of agricultural livestock and multi-purpose trailers, used in farming to transport animals, feed or bulk goods over ramps; the comparatively low gross weight allows registration in many countries under a simpler driving-licence category than heavy commercial trailers.
When buying used, on livestock trailers what counts above all is the condition of the floor and side panels, the function of the ramps and locks, and ventilation; on all versions, corrosion on the frame and axles, the condition of the braking system and lighting, and after a long standstill the condition of the tyres and wheel bearings. Spare parts for axles, brakes and lighting are available through the general trailer parts trade, floor panels and side sections sometimes only as aftermarket replacements.

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.
