Hönkhaus – other models: trailers outside the named series, low-loaders with a coded type key, 5,850 to 10,080 kg kerb weight, 16,000 to 40,000 kg gross vehicle weight, class O4
This page collects Hönkhaus units that the register could not assign to a named series. Type codes such as 12/5/S/DA/L/S/L combine several slash-separated abbreviations for axle count, load capacity and equipment features, as is common in German low-loader construction; all versions fall into class O4 (gross vehicle weight above 10 t), well above the weight classes of classic car trailers.

The register lists 6 versions here with kerb weights from 5,850 to 10,080 kg and gross vehicle weights from 16,000 to 40,000 kg. Lengths range from 7,900 to 13,650 mm, widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm – figures pointing to multi-axle low-loaders for very varied cargo.
Such low-loaders carry construction machinery, containers and heavy goods behind class N2 or N3 trucks and are common at building-materials dealers, construction firms and plant-hire companies, where payload decides daily utilisation and short loading times matter.
When buying used, check the condition of axles, brake system and air suspension, rust on the chassis and ramps, the tightness of the hydraulics, plus wear on tyres and brake linings; the function of the ramp locks, the condition of the loading planks and the soundness of the welds at the axle mounts deserve extra attention, along with the wear on the towing eye and its pin.

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.
