Esape – other models: the collective page of trailers and semi-trailers outside the named ranges, DO, KAP, KP, PP, PPV and VP/VPV types, unladen weights from 1,500 to 14,500 kg and gross weights up to 70,000 kg
This page gathers the Esape trailers and semi-trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The type designations follow a maker-specific scheme of letter codes such as DO, KAP, KP, PP, PPV and VP or VPV, followed by multi-digit number strings. The span of unladen weights up to 14.5 tonnes and gross weights up to 70 tonnes reaches well beyond the light car-trailer class and shows heavy semi-trailers for commercial bulk and special-purpose transport.

The register lists here 40 versions with unladen weights from 1,500 to 14,500 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 70,000 kg, lengths from 4,050 to 16,910 mm and widths from 2,450 to 3,120 mm.
Heavy semi-trailers and trailers of this size carry bulk goods, building materials, farm produce or machinery and compete with the large European semi-trailer makers; operators often choose them for short lead times and layouts tailored to a specific job. Such vehicles are usually built in small series or to individual order, matched to a particular customer's cargo.
On a used purchase, the condition and any cracking of the chassis, axles and braking system, kingpin and landing gear, the condition of the hydraulics and tipping ram on tipping semi-trailers, and corrosion on the frame and bodywork all count; tyres and suspension are a recurring check point at this load class.

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.
