Schweikert – further models: collective page for trailers outside the named ranges, types E, EE and ES plus Edelweis, unladen weight 654 to 1,330 kg, width 2.02 to 2.27 m, gross weight 850 to 1,500 kg
This page gathers trailers from the Schweikert brand that the register could not assign to a named range. The type names follow a recognisable letter-plus-number pattern: E, EE and ES each precede a three-digit number, as in E 505, EE 460 or ES 550, alongside plain numeric types 390, 550 and Schweikert 600 and the special model Edelweis, together forming a fairly consistent, if never explicitly documented, range logic.

The register lists here 19 versions with unladen weights from 654 to 1,330 kg, gross weights from 850 to 1,500 kg and widths from 2,020 to 2,270 mm.
With widths over two metres combined with a comparatively moderate gross weight, the Schweikert trailers count among the wider units of class O2, used for bulky loads, machinery or larger livestock transport. The name Edelweis among the models points to the German-speaking market the range was designed for, and the weight spread from 850 to 1,500 kg shows several load-capacity steps within the same wide-bodied construction.
Buying used, given the wide bodies, check for frame twist and the condition of the side panels, plus the axle, brake and overrun coupling, and rust around the wheel arches, which take more strain on wide trailers. Also check the tightness of the load floor, the condition of the lighting and, depending on the build year, the frame's paint coating, since on trailers this size corrosion often shows first on the cross members and in the side-panel corners.

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.
