Blomenröhr AW – range: light to medium-duty trailers with the payload given in the type code, AW 3500 to AW 12000, unladen weight 810 to 2,830 kg, gross weight 3.5 to 12 tonnes
Blomenröhr's AW range orders its type designation by gross weight in kilograms: AW 3500 stands for 3.5 tonnes, AW 4200 for 4.2 tonnes, AW 6000, AW 8000, AW 8500 and AW 12000 for the corresponding weight class. The NL suffix additionally states the payload in tonnes, for instance NL 3.5 or NL 4.5, so both gross weight and payload can be read directly from the type code; the following letters L, P, T and U distinguish body variants within one weight class.

The register lists here 15 versions with unladen weights from 810 to 2,830 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 12,000 kg, lengths from 6,240 to 7,460 mm and widths from 1,800 to 2,600 mm.
The range therefore covers the transition from the class of trailers up to 3.5 tonnes to light lorry trailers over 10 tonnes and is used as a general-purpose transport trailer for trades, agriculture and commerce, where the payload readable from the type code eases the choice of the right version. Lengths from 6.24 to 7.46 m and widths from 1.8 to 2.6 m fall within the typical range for twin-axle trailers of this class.
On a used purchase, the condition and load rating of the axles relative to the stated payload, the brake system and overrun brake, the load area and side boards, and rust on the chassis and drawbar count; on the heavier AW 8000 and AW 12000 types, additionally the condition of the tandem axles and tow eye.

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.
