The register lists 6 versions with unladen weights from 1,890 to 3,800 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,500 to 11,200 kg, lengths from 4.55 to 7.50 m and widths from 2.34 to 2.50 m.
Kässbohrer is among the established European semi-trailer makers, and with compact semi-trailers of this size it serves a niche between an ordinary car trailer and a full semi-trailer combination, for example in urban distribution traffic or specialised haulage tasks. Such compact semi-trailers do not need a dedicated heavy tractor unit and can be paired with smaller towing vehicles.
When buying used, what counts on semi-trailers of this size is the condition of the kingpin and landing legs, corrosion on the chassis and body panels, the function of the braking system, and the condition of the axles and tyres; a valid registration certificate and a current inspection report should be in place before purchase. Checking that the chassis number matches the registration papers, and reviewing the service book, also belong to the pre-purchase inspection.

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.
