Trailmobile – other models: the collective page of semi-trailers outside the named ranges from Chicago, types such as the C 71 Tomo 1 and TO.S.1210, 3.7 to 10.3 t unladen weight at 22 to 34.7 t gross weight
This page gathers the Trailmobile semi-trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Trailmobile of Chicago was one of the oldest trailer makers in North America and shaped American long-haul transport with early semi-trailer designs, before the brand changed owners several times over its history. The types recorded here, the C 71 Tomo 1 and the TO.S.1210/1220 series, are classic semi-trailer designs. In Europe, such semi-trailers mostly surface as re-imports or through the used-trailer market, after completing an initial service life in North America.

The register lists here 6 versions with unladen weights from 3,650 to 10,280 kg, gross weights from 22,000 to 34,684 kg, lengths from 10,870 to 13,590 mm and widths from 2,430 to 2,580 mm.
With gross weights up to almost 35 tonnes and lengths up to 13.6 metres, these semi-trailers match classic trailer sizes of North American and European long-haul transport. Today such trailers are mainly found in specialist and collector use.
On a used purchase, what matters most on these older semi-trailers is the condition of frame and cross members, corrosion on load-bearing parts, axles, brakes and suspension, and kingpin and landing legs; spare parts for this long-established, repeatedly sold brand run through specialist dealers in older commercial-vehicle parts.

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.
