Schouten – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, light tandem-axle and single-axle trailers up to 3.5 tonnes, widths of 1.68 to 2.39 metres
This page gathers the Schouten trailers the register could not assign to a named range – recorded under designations such as P 1.5, S 20 and ST 20. With gross weights up to 3.5 tonnes, all versions listed here fall into EU vehicle class O2, the class of light trailers that can be towed on an ordinary car licence. The O1 to O4 vehicle classes are defined uniformly across the EU and, besides the gross weight, also determine whether an overrun brake or a continuous braking system is required and which coupling the towing vehicle needs.

The register lists here 29 versions with unladen weights from 325 to 1,680 kg, gross weights from 1,200 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,680 to 2,390 mm.
Trailers of this class are the typical general-purpose trailers for tradespeople, horticulture and private owners, open or with a tarpaulin, for transporting materials, equipment or small vehicles. The used market for such trailers is large and hard to overview across Europe, as many smaller manufacturers built similar designs in changing series over decades.
On a used example, the function of the overrun brake and handbrake, the condition of the axle and wheel bearings, rust on the frame and load floor, the condition of the sideboards and drawbar and the lighting all count; spare parts run through the open trailer trade. Also worth checking are the coupling head, wheel chocks, tyre age and whether the chassis number matches the registration documents.

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.
