The register lists 30 versions with kerb weights from 561 to 1,490 kg at gross vehicle weights from 850 to 2,700 kg. Widths range from 2,080 to 2,220 mm, recorded lengths from 5,650 to 6,300 mm.
With widths of around two metres and gross weights up to 2.7 tonnes, the range covers both small single-axle trailers and larger tandem-axle units, of the kind used for boat, horse or materials transport in private and semi-commercial use. Full galvanising of the chassis and drawbar is standard in this trailer class and protects against corrosion from road salt and, on boat trailers, from saltwater exposure.
When buying used, check the axle suspension and braking system of the heavier tandem-axle versions, as well as the chassis and drawbar for corrosion and cracks at the weld seams. On boat trailers it is also worth inspecting the rollers and keel supports plus any corrosion damage from saltwater contact. Wear parts such as axles, couplings and lighting are available through the independent trailer-accessory trade.

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.
