Liftlux – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, BT and BT 18/503/2, unladen weights from 3,100 to 4,610 kg, gross weight 18,000 kg
This page gathers the Liftlux trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Liftlux, based in Ebersbach an der Fils, builds self-propelled scissor and articulated boom lifts and has belonged to the US group JLG since the 2017 takeover; the trailers listed here under BT and BT 18/503/2 are transport chassis for works traffic and delivery of the lifts, not the lifts themselves.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 3,100 to 4,610 kg, a gross weight of 18,000 kg, lengths from 5,030 to 5,120 mm and widths from 2,540 to 2,550 mm.
At just over five metres long and just under 2.55 m wide, these are compact low chassis for carrying a single work platform behind a road tractor, as used by rental firms and lift makers for delivery to building sites and factory halls. Since the lifts themselves usually stay within the rental fleet, the transport chassis change hands more often than the platforms, which makes the used market for these trailers a segment of its own.
On a used unit, the condition of the load bed and the lashing points, the function of ramps and hydraulics, the axles and brakes given the high gross weight, and a valid roadworthiness inspection all count; since these chassis usually run in steady commercial use, the operating hours of the hydraulic pump are also worth checking where the ramps are hydraulically operated. Registration in the correct trailer class and the validity of the brake test should also be clarified before buying.

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.
