Van Weel VWK – other models: the collective page for Dutch trailers outside the named ranges, from the VWK to the VWK Var E, 860 to 1,600 kg kerb weight, 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight, category O2
Van Weel is a Dutch trailer manufacturer whose VWK range is gathered here outside the named versions. The type designations combine the VWK prefix with a variant code such as Var A or Var E and sometimes the number 3500 or 3503, matching the gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg. The VWK 3503 version differs only slightly from the otherwise consistent number 3500, while staying in the same weight class.

The register lists five versions here with kerb weights from 860 to 1,600 kg at a uniform gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, placing all of them in category O2 (trailers from 750 kg to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight). Widths range from 1,900 to 2,250 mm.
Trailers of this weight class span a wide range from light transport trailers to fully loaded O2 trailers, placing the brand in the same market segment as many Dutch trailer builders whose registration data is held by the RDW. They are used both by private owners for transporting vehicles and materials and by trade businesses for tools and machinery.
When buying a used O2 trailer of this kind, the condition of the axles and overrun brake, rust on the chassis and drawbar, and the function of the lighting system deserve attention. Spare parts for brakes, axles and lighting are available through the general trailer parts trade, as are the jockey wheel and coupling head.

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.
