The Pka K.A.D.S is a machine built by Pka. Production: 1976. The machine is 9,250 mm long and 2,490 mm wide. The unladen weight is 4,250 kg. The wheelbase measures 5,600 mm. Top speed is 100 km/h. The gross vehicle weight is 6,000 kg. Unladen weight across the Pka range ranges from 3,700 to 10,060 kg; the K.A.D.S sits at the bottom of that range with 4,250 kg. Its immediate neighbours are the KAD 16 below it with 3,700 kg and the KAD 8 above it with 4,400 kg. Gross vehicle weight across the Pka range ranges from 6,000 to 26,000 kg; here the K.A.D.S sits at the bottom of that range with 6,000 kg. 12 Pka models across 2 series are on record.

Pka – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, the K.A.D. type family in several variants plus KAT 19, 4,250 to 6,980 kg unladen weight, 6,000 to 26,000 kg gross weight

This page gathers the Pka trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Several entries share the core designation K.A.D. in different spellings – K.A.D.-16, K.A.D.S and KAD 8 – alongside the standalone types 6-6 and KAT 19. 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 6 versions with unladen weights from 4,250 to 6,980 kg, gross weights from 6,000 to 26,000 kg, lengths from 9,250 to 11,450 mm and widths from 2,490 to 2,500 mm.

With gross weights of 6 to 26 tonnes, the programme covers a wide span from mid-weight to heavy trailers; above 10 tonnes the versions already fall into the class of semi-trailers and tandem-axle trailers for heavy-haul traffic, for which a category CE licence is required. On the lighter versions around 6 tonnes, a category C1E licence suffices depending on the tow vehicle.

On a used example across this weight span, the condition of axles and brake system, rust on frame and side rails, the state of the coupling device, and tyres and rims all count in particular; on the heaviest versions the maintenance history of the brake system 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.
