Crane – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, the 7.5 Ton Recovery Trailer, P GR FA2 and PJDTA3, 3,020 to 8,040 kg unladen weight, 9,000 to 37,500 kg gross weight
This page gathers the trailers the register lists under the Crane brand without assigning them to a named range. The 7.5 Ton Recovery Trailer takes its name from its capacity for recovery and towing use, while the P GR FA2 and PJDTA3 follow their own code scheme. The figures are drawn from vehicle registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical values.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 3,020 to 8,040 kg, gross weights from 9,000 to 37,500 kg, lengths from 6,200 to 13,600 mm and widths from 2,330 to 2,500 mm.
The spread of gross weights from 9 to 37.5 tonnes runs from a medium-weight tandem-axle trailer to a heavy semi-trailer or centre-axle trailer for long-haul transport; the Recovery Trailer serves for towing and recovering broken-down or crashed vehicles, while the heavier types suit general freight and heavy-load transport.
On a used example, axle and suspension condition, the function of the brake system including lines and connectors, rust on frame and body, and the state of tyres, rims and lighting all count; on the recovery trailer, the function of ramps, winch and lashing points as well. Parts for such a small brand mostly run through independent commercial-vehicle and trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network.

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.
