Lako – other trailers: the collective page of utility trailers outside the named ranges, with the A code and size classes from 210 to 440, 280 kg to 39.7 tonnes unladen weight

This page gathers Lako trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The models mostly carry the A code followed by a two- to four-digit number (from A 210 to A 440) that, by the maker's logic, roughly denotes an axle-load or size class, supplemented by letter suffixes such as ZD or WB for axle or drawbar variants; more precise details of the works and company history cannot be reliably derived from the register. The huge spread of figures ranges from light single-axle trailers to very heavy multi-axle versions.

The register lists here 171 versions with unladen weights from 280 to 39,720 kg and gross weights from 850 to 73,500 kg; lengths and widths are plausibly recorded for only part of the models.

Lako represents the group of smaller European trailer builders who cover a wide spectrum from the light agricultural trailer to the heavy low-loader for construction machinery and special cargo, without reaching the recognition of the big international makers.

On used Lako trailers, corrosion on the frame and side members, the condition of the axles and, on heavy versions, the steering axles, braking system and overrun brake matter, and on low-loaders the ramps and hydraulics as well; because of the inconsistent type range, spare parts are in places only obtainable made to order or through specialist trailer workshops.

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.
