Spijkstaal – other models: the collective page of transport trailers and carts outside the named ranges, from 1-tonne to 5-tonne platform carts, unladen weights 555 to 3,720 kg, gross weights up to 6,500 kg
This page gathers the Spijkstaal trailers and transport carts the register could not assign to a named range. Spijkstaal was founded in 1938 in Spijkenisse as a wagon-building works and from the 1950s built electrically driven platform carts and transport vehicles for airports, flower auctions and industry; the company latterly traded as Spijkstaal Elektro. Many model names in the register such as 1 1/2 T, 1 T, 1 TON and 1000 KG T1 directly state the load capacity, VHT 45KN and 45KN the drawbar pull in kilonewtons; the entry ONBEKEND is Dutch for unknown and marks vehicles without their own type designation in the registration.

The register lists here 13 versions with unladen weights from 555 to 3,720 kg, gross weights from 1,255 to 6,500 kg, lengths from 5,160 to 8,200 mm and widths from 1,710 to 2,420 mm.
The vehicles come from industrial and in-plant transport – platform carts and trailers for moving goods at airports, in horticulture and in factories – a market segment in which electrically driven tugs and their trailers have been common for decades.
On a used purchase, the condition of frame, load floor and drawbar count on these transport trailers, axles and brakes for wear, and the coupling to the tug; since Spijkstaal is no longer active as a manufacturer, parts for axles, wheels and lighting run through the general trailer trade.

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.
