Richard Höhns – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, Lippe 8000 D and Main 4000, 1,200 to 3,500 kg gross weight, 860 to 3,120 kg unladen weight
This page gathers the trailers listed in the register under the name Richard Höhns, without assignment to a named range – the types Lippe 8000 D and Main 4000 carry river names, with the number in each denoting the gross weight in kilograms. This practice of carrying the gross weight into the type name aids identification, even though the models do not belong to a range with continuous numbering.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 860 to 3,120 kg, gross weights from 1,200 to 3,500 kg and widths from 2,020 to 2,500 mm.
With gross weights of 1.2 to 3.5 tonnes, all versions fall into trailer category O2, as towed behind vans and stronger cars; naming after rivers combined with the weight class follows a practice common in the trailer industry of carrying the gross weight directly into the type designation.
On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, the state of lighting and plug, and tyres and rims all count. Parts for trailers of this weight class usually run through independent trailer workshops; on more heavily used examples it is also worth checking the adjustment of the brake linkage. On trailers with river names like these, parts availability is usually tied to the chassis and fitted axle rather than to the type designation itself.

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.
