Tijhof – other trailers: the collective page of Dutch utility trailers outside the named ranges, from the TA 13 and TA 15 to the TA 20 and TA 25, 320 kg to 8.2 tonnes unladen weight, tipper and platform versions
This page gathers Tijhof trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Tijhof is a Dutch maker of agricultural and utility trailers; the TA designation stands for Tijhof Aanhangwagen, the following number roughly denoting, by the maker's logic, the trailer's tonnage class (TA 15 around 1.5 t, TA 20 around 2.0 t payload), letter suffixes such as K, W or SL marking tipper, wagon or special bodies. The wide spread of model years and body types – from single-axle small trailers to multi-axle tippers – shows in the register's inconsistent type designations.

The register lists here 181 versions with unladen weights from 320 to 8,200 kg, gross weights from 1,000 to 19,000 kg and widths from 1,330 to 2,550 mm; lengths are recorded for only part of the models.
Tijhof mainly serves the Dutch and north German market for agricultural and municipal trailers, standing there alongside brands such as Veldhuizen and Beelen for sturdy, simple utility trailers outside the big international semi-trailer makers.
On used Tijhof trailers, corrosion on the frame and side panels, the condition of the axles and brakes (the smaller types are often unbraked) and, on braked models, the overrun brake matter, and on tippers the hydraulic ram and tipping body and the lighting system; parts for the oldest model years are in places only available through specialist trailer workshops.

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.
