WACO – other models: the collective page of light single-axle and tandem-axle trailers outside the named ranges, PT, KV and S III ranges, 218 to 1,050 kg unladen weight, 1 to 2 t gross weight
This page gathers the WACO trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The type plates show several short letter-number combinations – PT, KV and S or S III, each followed by a one- or two-digit number and often the suffix A for an equipment variant; older models additionally carry dots in the notation (S 111 A, P.T. 2), newer ones the contracted form (S111A, PT2A).

The register lists here 89 versions with unladen weights from 218 to 1,050 kg, gross weights from 1,000 to 2,000 kg and widths from 1,760 to 2,380 mm; the whole range thus sits in the light vehicle class O1 to O2 for trailers up to 3.5 tonnes.
Trailers of this size are the classic segment for private users and small businesses – materials transport, garden waste, small machinery and towed loads that can be moved by ordinary passenger cars. The simple construction without elaborate electronics makes such trailers durable and low-maintenance, which is why many examples remain in service for decades.
When buying used, what matters is rust on the chassis and side panels, the condition of the load floor, the function of the overrun brake and the lighting system, tyre condition and a secure fit of the tow coupling; a valid roadworthiness inspection is basic equipment. Spares for axles, overrun coupling and lighting are widely available through the aftermarket.

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.
