VAR – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, the VAR 1 range, SENKOMAT and ZTP types, 460 to 1,740 kg unladen weight, 1,200 to 2,800 kg gross weight
This page gathers the VAR trailers the register could not assign to a named range – from the VAR 1 range (VAR 1 A to VAR 1D, also written VAR IA and VAR IB) through VAR 2 and VAR II to the types SENKOMAT 2-A, VAR SENKO 2 and ZTP 2-20. The VAR 1 and VAR 2 types form recognisable model tiers, even though spellings with Arabic and Roman numerals appear side by side in the register.

The register lists here 19 versions with unladen weights from 460 to 1,740 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,200 to 2,800 kg and widths from 1,600 to 2,500 mm.
The weight span up to nearly 2.8 tonnes gross weight places the VAR trailers in the segment of mid-size working trailers, used behind vans and light commercial vehicles for carrying material and equipment.
When buying used, check the chassis and drawbar for rust and distortion, the axle and wheel bearings for play, the brake system for function and lining thickness, and the load floor and side panels for corrosion through. Spare parts for the axle, coupling and brake on VAR trailers, as with comparable smaller builders, come from the general trailer-accessories trade. It is also worth checking the tyres and rims for age, tread depth and load rating, the spare wheel or repair kit and on-board tools, and that the chassis number, type plate and vehicle documents all match.

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.
