Wesco – other models: the collector page for trailers outside the named series, DR and P types, 340 to 2,840 kg kerb weight, 1,000 to 4,266 kg gross weight
This page gathers 118 Wesco trailers that the register could not assign to a named series. The type list runs from the four-digit P types such as P 2020 or P 2050 through the DR range to the short A and K codes; number additions such as 2000, 2005 or 3500 often point to the respective weight or size class.

The register lists 118 versions here with a kerb weight of 340 to 2,840 kg and a gross weight of 1,000 to 4,266 kg. Widths range from 1,560 to 3,000 mm, lengths from 3,730 to 8,760 mm.
The bulk of the collector page falls in the O2 class up to 3.5 tonnes, supplemented by a few versions just above that limit, which already require an extended driving entitlement. Trailers of this range are used above all in the trade haulage of machinery, materials and goods where different towed weights are needed.
When buying used, check the frame and drawbar for rust and cracks, and the overrun brake and its linkage for correct function. Axles, wheel bearings, tyre age and the lighting system belong to the standard check, as does matching the data plate and gross weight to the registration; wear parts for common axles and couplings are available from independent trailer dealers. The condition of the mudguards, support legs and lashing rings is also worth a look, since these parts take the brunt of everyday loading and unloading.

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.
