Kip MAN KS – trailer series: twelve versions of the KS series from 3,710 to 11,647.5 kg kerb weight, 19,000 to 42,000 kg gross vehicle weight and up to 15,550 mm in length
Kip MAN KS is a series of heavy trailers listed in the register, whose KS designation is combined with a number denoting axle configuration and equipment codes such as VP, PP or L, for example KS 16-20, KS 3 PP, KS 4 VP or KS 5VP. The large number of similar digit-and-letter combinations points to a finely graduated modular range within the series.

The register lists 12 versions with kerb weights from 3,710 to 11,647.5 kg, gross vehicle weights from 19,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 9,470 to 15,550 mm and widths from 2,460 to 2,600 mm.
With gross vehicle weights of 19 to 42 tonnes and lengths of over 15 metres, the KS series ranks among the heavy semi-trailers or centre-axle trailers used in long-haul lorry transport; the range of versions covers shorter, lighter units as well as long, heavily loadable combinations. Such trailers are typically used in European freight transport for general cargo, bulk goods or palletised loads, with axle count and equipment determining the permitted payload and compatibility with different tractor units.
When buying used, check the condition of the frame and axles, the operation of the braking system and, where fitted, air suspension, corrosion on load-bearing parts, and the condition of the coupling and load-securing points; on the longer versions, also check the load bed and ramps. With the numerous similarly named KS variants, it is worth matching the exact type designation against the vehicle documents, as axle count and equipment can differ noticeably between variants. Spare parts for heavy trailers of this type usually come from workshops specialising in commercial trailers.

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.
