550 GL comes from the manufacturer Smv. According to the available register data, the vehicle dates from 1985. The car trailer is 7,000 mm long and 2,230 mm wide. The unladen weight is 1,070 kg. The Finnish vehicle register lists one example of this model.

Smv – other models: the collective page of car trailers outside the named ranges, from the Smv 440 and 460 De Lux to the SMV 590 Electronic, unladen weights 440 to 1,150 kg, gross weight up to 3.5 t

This page gathers the Smv trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The type designations mostly combine a three-digit number for the build size with a name suffix such as Standard, CL, De Lux, GL or Electronic; a few types carry the suffix Släp or Släpkärra directly in the name, the Swedish word for trailer.

The register lists here 15 versions with unladen weights from 440 to 1,150 kg, permitted gross weights from 780 to 1,380 kg, lengths from 4,900 to 7,450 mm and widths from 2,000 to 2,240 mm.

With lengths of up to 7.45 metres at a comparatively moderate gross weight, part of the range counts among the long, narrow trailers used for boats or bulky, light loads, while the shorter Standard and CL types serve as general-purpose car trailers. The name suffixes mark different equipment levels within the same build size.

When buying used, on the long versions check the frame's torsional stiffness and the condition of the bearing brackets; on all types also check the overrun brake and brake linkage, axle suspension, corrosion on the frame and mudguards, and the function of the lighting system. The registration papers should be matched against the recorded gross weight, and on the longer types the side supports and load-securing lashing points should also be assessed.
