Pijnappel – other models: the collective page of a Dutch trailer and chassis builder with PAT, PDS, JG and MG ranges, 260 to 3,430 kg unladen weight, up to 3,500 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Pijnappel trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Pijnappel is a Dutch maker of trailer chassis; the type codes in the model line-up – PAT, PDS, JG, MG, BUR, FG, HG and LG among many others – point to a broad modular system of base frames onto which different bodies are fitted according to use, from simple open platforms to carriers for equipment and small machinery. A consistent scheme behind the letter and number combinations cannot be reliably reconstructed from the model names alone.

The register lists here 141 versions with unladen weights from 260 to 3,430 kg and gross weights from 800 to 3,500 kg. Lengths range from 3,230 to 7,640 mm, widths from 1,160 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights mostly within the EU trailer class up to 3.5 t, Pijnappel is one of the smaller, regionally active Dutch trailer builders that supply special builds for trades, agriculture and commerce alongside standard ware, and whose vehicles turn up in German-speaking markets chiefly on the used market.
When buying used, what counts on Pijnappel trailers is the condition of frame and welds, axles, brakes and the overrun coupling, the state of the lighting system and, depending on the body, floor and side boards; since the brand is little known outside the Netherlands, it is worth checking chassis number against registration papers before buying, as spare parts are often only available directly from the manufacturer or independent 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.
