Vanclaes – other models: boat trailers such as Excelleron, Gladius, Fishing Pro, Nautique and Rib Marine, alongside register entries with no product name, unladen weights 489 to 2,596 kg, gross weights up to 13,000 kg
Vanclaes Boat Trailers is a Dutch manufacturer of stainless-steel boat trailers based in Alphen aan den Rijn; the Fishing and Fishing Pro series for angling boats sits alongside versions for rowing boats and larger sports boats. This page gathers the Vanclaes trailers not assigned to a range of their own: named types such as Excelleron, Gladius, Fishing Pro, Nautique and Rib Marine point to boat trailers, while the register also carries entries with no product name of their own, such as the company name itself or general shorthand from vehicle registration. The designation Type O points to the EU vehicle category O for trailers, supplemented by a weight figure in kilograms, as with Type O 13500 GFA.

The register lists here 16 versions with unladen weights from 489 to 2,596 kg, permissible gross weights from 1,800 to 13,000 kg, lengths from 6,100 to 11,850 mm and widths from 1,960 to 2,550 mm.
The span runs from small trailers for inflatables and fishing boats to heavy versions for yachts and larger sports boats, of the kind common in the Dutch watersports market.
When buying used, the lighter types call for a check of the axle suspension, the coupling head and the roller or keel-track fittings, while the heavier versions with a gross weight of several tonnes also need the braking system, axle-load distribution and tread condition of the often multi-axle chassis checked. The frame and coupling should be examined for corrosion from salt-water contact, since these trailers are regularly submerged during launching.

- 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.
