Schalkers – other models: Dutch trailers outside the named ranges, from the F270B through the T.A. range to the TANDEM, 380 to 760 kg unladen weight, 1,500 to 3,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the trailers of the Dutch builder Schalkers that the register could not assign to a named range – from the F270B through the P.L.A. and T.A. ranges to a model simply named TANDEM, carrying its two-axle layout in its name. The remaining type codes follow no scheme of letters and numbers recognisable from outside.

The register lists here 8 versions with unladen weights from 380 to 760 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,500 to 3,000 kg and widths from 1,720 to 1,900 mm.
With an unladen weight under 800 kg and a gross weight of up to 3,000 kg, there is a wide margin for payload between the two figures – typical of working trailers that carry material, machinery or cargo for trades and agriculture behind vans and light commercial vehicles. The registration data comes from the Dutch vehicle register.
When buying used, check the chassis and drawbar for rust and distortion, on the two-axle versions also the equalising bearings of the tandem axle for play, the brake system for function and lining thickness, and the load floor and side panels for corrosion through. Spare parts for axles, brakes and coupling on Schalkers trailers, as with most smaller Dutch builders, come from the general trailer-accessories trade. It is also worth checking the tyres and rims for age, tread depth and load rating, the spare wheel or repair kit and on-board tools, and that the chassis number, type plate and vehicle documents all match.

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.
