Zanner – other models: trailers outside the named ranges from light trailers to heavy low-loaders, types DSSA and STL, unladen weight 440 to 14,500 kg, gross weight 1,600 to 45,000 kg
This page gathers the Zanner trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The type designations DSSA and STL give the body type, the following number the weight class; the code PA marks a further version. By gross weight the models range from class O2 to class O4, covering light trailers as well as heavy low-loaders over 40 tonnes.

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 440 to 14,500 kg and gross weights from 1,600 to 45,000 kg. The lengths range from 7,700 to 14,040 mm, the widths from 1,900 to 2,600 mm; the heaviest versions thus weigh more than thirty times the lightest.
The span from light trailers to heavy, long low-loaders points to a range running from the smaller commercial trailer to the heavy-load transporter for construction equipment and special transport, of the kind needed in civil engineering and for oversized or overweight loads.
On used examples, the heavy low-loaders call for checking axle, brake-system and suspension condition, rust on the frame and side members, the condition of the load bed and any ramps, and the function of lighting and hydraulic attachments; on the lighter versions the condition of the overrun brake, tyres and the load capacity of the drawbar as well, and on all models the condition of the 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.
