Wackenhut – other models: the collective page of trailers from the Nagold vehicle builder outside the named ranges, from ATP 8 and SFG 20 to WSM20, 2.6 to 7.8 t unladen weight, 8 to 40 t gross weight
This page gathers the Wackenhut trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Wackenhut is a vehicle builder from Nagold in Baden-Württemberg specialising in special bodies and trailers for commercial-vehicle use; type codes such as ATP, SFG, ST and WSM denote different body and axle configurations, with the accompanying numbers giving the build size or gross weight in tonnes.

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 2,630 to 7,800 kg, gross weights from 8,000 to 40,000 kg, lengths from 7,150 to 13,850 mm and widths from 2,300 to 2,550 mm.
The span from class O3 to class O4 with a gross weight of up to 40 tonnes shows the typical profile of a special-body builder: alongside standard trailers the range also includes versions for particular loads, where frame and body are tailored to the respective payload.
On a used trailer of this class, the air-brake system with ABS or EBS matters, along with the condition of axles, suspension and brake drums or discs, the frame around the axle mounts for cracks, the coupling head or kingpin, and, on special bodies, the fixing of the body to the frame and the corrosion state of weld seams. Since special bodies are often built to order, it is also worth checking the technical documentation and any material certificates for the construction before the trailer moves to a new application.

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.
