Westhoff – other models: BT-series boat trailers from the BT 1300 to the BT 3500, type figure matching gross weight, plus the Koelwagen refrigerated trailer, unladen weights 320 to 1,010 kg, gross weights up to 3,500 kg
This page brings together Westhoff trailers outside the named ranges, mostly boat trailers in the BT series. The figure in the type designation clearly tracks the permissible gross weight in kilograms, from the BT 1300 up to the BT 3500 at the top of the range; the name Koelwagen (Dutch for refrigerated wagon) points to a refrigerated-trailer version, and Safety BT 1500 to an additional equipment variant.

The register lists here 21 versions with unladen weights from 320 to 1,010 kg, permissible gross weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 5,100 to 9,080 mm and widths from 1,790 to 2,550 mm.
As with other boat-trailer makers, the focus is on leisure boats on inland waters and coastal areas; the lighter BT types around 1,300 kg gross weight can be towed unbraked, while the heavier versions need an overrun brake. The Koelwagen model adds a special case for refrigerated transport, clearly different in build and use from the rest of the boat trailers.
When buying used, what counts is frame corrosion from water contact, the condition of the keel rollers and bunks, and the function of the winch and strap, plus on the braked types the overrun gear and brake linings. Wheel bearings should be checked especially carefully given the frequent submersion during launching, as should the lighting system for moisture in the connectors. On the Koelwagen version, the condition of the refrigeration and insulation technology should also be assessed.

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.
