The register lists nine versions with unladen weights from 3,260 to 13,080 kg, gross weights from 8,000 to 34,000 kg, lengths from 9,670 to 13,350 mm and widths from 2,460 to 2,500 mm.
With payloads from a few tonnes to over 20 tonnes, the VE range covers a broad field of classic road trailers, from lighter twin-axle to heavy multi-axle versions for European freight transport. Such trailers are often used as a second vehicle behind an existing truck, flexibly extending a fleet without having to invest in an additional semi-trailer combination.
When buying a used example, what matters is the frame and drawbar, the function of the overrun brake and coupling, the condition of axles, brakes and tyres, and corrosion on the chassis rails and load floor. Spare parts for trailers of this class usually come from common axle and brake suppliers such as BPW, SAF or Knott. The lighting system, wheel chocks and complete registration documentation also belong in the pre-purchase check.

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.
