Lohr – other models: the collective page of French car-transporter trailers outside the named TA and SMC ranges, to Multilohr, 1.04 to 15.72 t unladen weight, up to 83.5 t gross weight, lengths up to 17.22 m
This page gathers the Lohr trailers the register could not assign to a named range – trailers and bodies from the French car-transport specialist Lohr Industrie of Alsace, whose Multilohr system is known as a folding vehicle-transport body. Type codes such as TA 10/4, SMC 60-6.3 D B or C2H99S6 combine axle count, payload class and body variant, with the TA range denoting lighter trailers and the SMC and C ranges bodies for vehicle-transport and special combinations.

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.
