Hoekstra – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, from the light BT series to the 20-tonne AHW 20T trailer, 290 to 7,360 kg unladen weight, up to 20 t gross vehicle weight
This page gathers the Hoekstra trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Several models carry the Dutch abbreviation AHW for aanhangwagen (trailer), followed by the weight class in tonnes as in AHW 20T or MA-AHW 20T-L; alongside them stand the lighter BT, BTR and HT models and the VB 16.

The register lists here 14 versions with unladen weights from 290 to 7,360 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1 to 20 t, lengths from 3,450 to 10,360 mm and widths from 1,750 to 2,590 mm.
The span from 1 to 20 t gross vehicle weight runs from a light trailer for garden and small-business use to a heavy, certified AHW trailer for commercial use, as Dutch vehicle registers list for construction and transport firms. The naming with the weight stated directly makes it easy there to match the right driving-licence category. In practice this means buyers first settle on the required driving-licence category and only then choose the model matching that weight.
When buying used, on the lighter models check the frame and load floor for rust, the condition of the tow eye, jockey wheel and overrun brake, and the seal on the lighting; on the heavy AHW trailers, also check the air suspension or leaf springs, the brake system, the axle assemblies and the technical inspection sticker. Matching the chassis number to the registration papers is a basic check across all sizes. On trailers with a long service history, it is also worth checking that the manufacturer's plate matches the entry in the registration document.

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.
