The register lists 223 versions with unladen weights from 150 to 2,550 kg and permissible gross weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg. Lengths are recorded for 130 of the 223 vehicles and range from 3,560 to 10,580 mm, width for all 223 versions from 1,470 to 2,550 mm.

With a broad range from light single-axle trailers to multi-axle low-beds for machinery and vehicle transport, Unsinn serves both private customers and trades and businesses – a market segment in which, alongside a few nationwide brands, many regional trailer builders are active.

For a used car trailer of this class, check the function and adjustment of the overrun device including the handbrake, the condition of brake linings and drums, rubber torsion axles for cracks and settling behaviour, frame and floor corrosion, and a functioning lighting system. For low-beds, also check ramps, lashing points and the load-bed capacity, plus tyre age regardless of tread depth.

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.
