This page gathers the Pal trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The type names follow a shared structure of several digit groups separated by a slash or hyphen, such as 3/28-8200 or 5/40-12700 KOV, with no generally known system readable from them; one entry is listed only under the brand name PAL with no type suffix of its own. As with many smaller trailer brands, the programme is drawn from registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical values.

The register lists here 16 versions with unladen weights from 4,800 to 12,100 kg, gross weights from 28,000 to 42,000 kg, lengths from 7,400 to 15,600 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.

With gross weights of 28 to 42 tonnes and lengths of up to over 15 metres, the programme covers the heavy trailer class above ten tonnes, typical of semi-trailers and tandem-axle trailers in heavy-haul and construction traffic behind suitably rated tractor units; driving such combinations requires a category CE licence.

On a used example at this weight class, the condition of axles, brake system and linkage, rust on frame and side rails, the state of the fifth-wheel coupling or tow eye, and tyres and rims all count in particular; on the longer versions over 13 metres, the condition of the extension frame and load-bed locking as well. Parts for such small brands usually run through independent commercial-vehicle workshops rather than a maker's network.

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.
