Fankhauser – other models: the collective page of Swiss trailers outside the named ranges, FA, FP and FR types for forestry, livestock and cargo transport, 1,050 to 3,060 kg unladen weight, up to 8,100 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Fankhauser trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Fankhauser AG, based in Rohrbach in the canton of Bern, has built custom vehicle bodies and trailers for decades, from forestry trailers to livestock transporters, municipal and fire-service vehicles; production is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. The type codes FA, FP and FR mark the individual ranges, with the attached number denoting the payload or weight class.

The register lists here 9 versions with unladen weights from 1,050 to 3,060 kg, gross weights from 3,200 to 8,100 kg, lengths from 6,300 to 8,880 mm and widths from 2,200 to 2,550 mm.
Fankhauser primarily serves the Swiss market for agricultural, forestry and municipal trailers, where customers agree body and equipment directly with the manufacturer rather than choosing from a series catalogue; this sets the brand apart from large-series builders and makes every trailer a small custom build, with forestry contractors and municipal customers valuing the close cooperation with a manufacturer that also handles servicing on site.
When buying used, check the frame and fittings for corrosion, the condition of the brakes and lighting, on tippers the hydraulic cylinders and seals, and on livestock transporters the floor, partitions and ventilation; since Fankhauser builds the vehicles itself, repairs and spare parts run directly through the manufacturer in Rohrbach.

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.
