Wellmeyer – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, medium to heavy trailers from PA 18/65 to SWR 14/20F, 6 to 43 tonnes gross weight
This page gathers the Wellmeyer trailers the register could not assign to a named range – recorded under designations such as PA 18/65, SAP 35/136 LH and SWR 14/20F. With gross weights of 6 to 43 tonnes, the versions fall into EU vehicle classes O3 and O4, the class of medium to heavy trailers for commercial transport. The O1 to O4 vehicle classes are defined uniformly across the EU and, besides the gross weight, also determine whether an overrun brake or a continuous braking system is required and which coupling the towing vehicle needs.

The register lists here 15 versions with unladen weights from 2,130 to 10,960 kg, gross weights from 6,000 to 43,000 kg, lengths from 6,500 to 13,900 mm and widths from 2,300 to 2,550 mm.
Trailers of this size serve heavy and special transport of machinery, building materials and part loads and are mostly run by hauliers and building firms. The used market for such trailers is large and hard to overview across Europe, as many smaller manufacturers built similar designs in changing series over decades.
On a used example, the condition of the axles and braking system (ABS/EBS), rust and cracks on the frame, the function of ramps or hydraulics on low-loader and tipping versions and the tyres all count; spare parts run through brand-independent suppliers. Also worth checking are the coupling head, wheel chocks, tyre age and whether the chassis number matches the registration documents.

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.
