Vogelzang is a Dutch manufacturer of heavy-duty trailers whose VA range is gathered here outside the named versions. The type designations combine the VA prefix with number pairs such as 10-18 or 16-20 and suffixes such as AC, KP, UST or GSL, marking different bodies or equipment variants of the respective base size.

The register lists 12 versions here with kerb weights from 4,560 to 9,540 kg and gross vehicle weights from 10,900 to 38,000 kg, placing all of them in category O4 (trailers over 10 t gross vehicle weight). Lengths range from 9,100 to 9,930 mm with widths between 2,440 and 2,560 mm.
Trailers of this weight class carry construction machinery, containers or bulk goods in commercial heavy-duty transport, placing the brand in the same market segment as many Dutch trailer builders whose registration data is held by the RDW. They are used in civil engineering, by plant hire firms, in municipal fleets and by heavy-equipment haulers.
When buying a used O4 trailer of this kind, the condition of the axles, brake system and chassis under the high payload, wear on ramps and the load platform, and corrosion on load-bearing components deserve attention. Spare parts for axles, brakes and lighting are available through the general trailer parts trade, as are the coupling and wheel chocks.

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.
