Schuitemaker – other models: collective page of the Dutch manufacturer, 4 versions, unladen weight around 420 kg, gross weight 3,500 kg, length from 3,400 to 3,860 mm
This collective page gathers the Schuitemaker trailers that the register could not assign to a named range. Schuitemaker is based in Rijssen in the Netherlands; the model RDW Igloo 4K carries the abbreviation of the Dutch vehicle registration authority RDW directly in its name, while Tandem Igloo 1100 4K and Tandem Igloo 800 3K denote the twin-axle layout, with the figures 800 and 1100 suggesting different payload classes.

The register lists here 4 versions with an unladen weight of around 420 kg at a gross weight of 3,500 kg. Lengths range from 3,400 to 3,860 mm, widths from 1,430 to 1,540 mm.
With compact lengths of 3.5 to 3.9 metres and a gross weight of up to 3.5 tonnes at a low unladen weight, these are light trailers, towable on a category B driving licence, for general small-scale haulage; the low unladen weight against this gross figure leaves a large payload margin relative to the vehicle's own weight.
When buying a used trailer of this class, check above all the axle and wheel bearings, the condition of the ball coupling, and corrosion on the frame and load bed. Tyres and lighting should be checked, along with the jockey wheel for smooth operation. Spare parts are available through the general trailer accessories trade, mostly independent of the exact model within this compact size.

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.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
