Ek Koivu – other models: Finnish low-loader trailers outside the named ranges, VP and PP types from 4.5 to 10.35 t unladen weight, 20 to 44 t gross vehicle weight
Ek Koivu is a Finnish company building heavy low-loader trailers for machinery transport. This page gathers the models outside the named ranges, mostly with the VP and PP type codes followed by the axle count and further figures for length or gross vehicle weight in tonnes (such as "-30T" or "-42T"). The model range runs from two-axle versions to multi-axle low-loader combinations with steered rear axles for long loads.

The register lists here 29 versions with unladen weights from 4,500 to 10,350 kg, gross vehicle weights from 20,000 to 44,000 kg, lengths from 7,600 to 13,150 mm and widths from 2,400 to 2,600 mm.
With gross vehicle weights of up to 44 tonnes and lengths of over 13 metres, these trailers belong to the heavy low-loader class for transporting construction machinery, forestry machinery and vehicles on their own axle, as used in Finland mainly by construction firms, plant-hire companies and forestry operations. Typical loads are excavators, wheel loaders and forest harvesters that drive onto the bed under their own power via hydraulically lowered ramps.
When buying used, the condition of the load bed and loading ramps matters, along with the axles, suspension and brake system on the multi-axle tandem and tridem versions, rust on the chassis and main beams, and a valid trailer inspection with working hydraulic or pneumatic ramp operation. Axles, brakes and hydraulic components are available through the commercial-vehicle and trailer parts trade, with BPW or SAF axles common on Nordic low-loaders.

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.
