Buist – other models: a collector page for 24 versions in the K series and the TTP2033 model, unladen weight 302 to 1,340 kg, gross weight 1.2 to 3.5 t
This page gathers Buist models the register could not assign to a named series. The core of the range is the K series, from K1 to K12, supplemented by variants with the suffix A and the TTP2033 model; codes such as K2 Variant A mark a different equipment level of the same size. Unbraked versions stay below 750 kg gross weight, while the larger models in the range reach up to 3,500 kg as braked trailers.

The register lists 24 versions with unladen weights from 302 to 1,340 kg and gross weights from 1,200 to 3,500 kg. Widths range from 1,300 to 2,440 mm.
Trailers in this weight class span from a light car trailer to a braked trailer near the 3.5-tonne limit, and carry boats, machinery or general cargo behind cars and light commercial vehicles. Trailers of this type serve both private and commercial transport, from watersports gear to compact building machinery.
When buying used, check the overrun braking device and brakes, axles and tyres, the frame for corrosion, and the lighting and number-plate light; spare parts are available from general trailer-equipment dealers. On braked versions, also check the overrun braking device and the function of the reverse-release mechanism, and look for uneven tyre wear pointing to a bent axle or worn wheel bearing, especially on trailers that have carried boats through salt water.

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.
