The register lists six versions with kerb weights from 3,700 to 10,060 kg and gross vehicle weights from 12,000 to 24,000 kg. Lengths run from 9,500 to 11,900 mm, and widths from 2,490 to 2,500 mm.
With gross vehicle weights from 12,000 to 24,000 kg, the KAD range covers the mid-weight segment of trailers, common in freight transport for general and palletised goods. Even the lightest version, with a gross vehicle weight of 12,000 kg, already falls into EU trailer class O4. Trailers and semi-trailers of this kind are used mainly by hauliers, transport companies and rental fleets in commercial freight transport, which rely on robust, low-maintenance technology.
When buying used, a trailer of this class calls for a check of the axles, braking system and the overrun brake or coupling, along with the frame and load bed for corrosion and wear. Spare parts for axles, brakes and lighting are generally available from commercial vehicle specialists regardless of make. Also worth checking are tyre tread depth and age, the condition of the brake and lighting connectors, and current inspection stickers and service history.

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.
