Steenhuis – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, with Eigenbouw, GSS and GSS 6 BS, 660 to 3,440 kg unladen weight, 2,000 to 16,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Steenhuis trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with only three versions listed, it amounts to practically the whole recorded stock of the brand. The designations Eigenbouw, GSS and GSS 6 BS stand side by side, with no further reliable scheme derivable from them. As with many smaller brands, the figures are drawn from registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical values.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 660 to 3,440 kg, gross weights from 2,000 to 16,000 kg and widths from 1,610 to 2,600 mm.
The range thus runs from light trailers to versions close to the semi-trailer class. For registration, besides the trailer's gross weight the tow vehicle's rated towing capacity is always decisive too, since it sets the real limit of the combination regardless of the trailer's own size and axle configuration.
On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun or service brake with its linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, the state of lighting and plug, and tyres and rims all count; on the heavier versions also the condition of the kingpin housing and the suspension. Parts for such small brands usually come through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer 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.
