Polcar – further models: collection page for trailers outside the named ranges, P types with a number for the permissible gross weight from 850 to 3,500 kg, unladen weight 370 to 2,440 kg
This page gathers Polcar trailers that the register could not assign to a dedicated range. Such collection pages group together models whose designations the register could not match to any separately named range, because the manufacturer's type sequence does not form a continuous series.In the P series, the number in the type designation visibly matches the permissible gross weight in kilograms: the P 850 denotes 850 kg, the P 1700 denotes 1,700 kg, and the P 3500 denotes 3,500 kg, the upper edge of the gross weights listed here. Alongside it, the register also lists the PV and PT series and the VLR 2000 type.

The register lists 26 versions here with unladen weights from 370 to 2,440 kg, permissible gross weights from 1,000 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,610 to 2,470 mm.
With gross weights up to 3,500 kg, the entire range falls within trailers that can be towed on a standard car licence; the series spans from small single-axle trailers to tandem-axle trailers close to the licence limit, for both leisure and commercial use.
When buying used, check corrosion on the chassis and drawbar, the condition of the braking system and the overrun brake coupling, the operation of the lights, and the condition of tyres, axles and the load bed floor. On closed versions, also check the seal of the body and doors; spares for axles, brakes and lighting are available through the general trailer parts 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.
