Ackermann Fruehauf – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, types such as AA, PWS, VIS and WG-3780, 8 to 32 tonnes gross weight, 8.65 to 12.75 metres in length
This page gathers the Ackermann Fruehauf trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Ackermann Fruehauf emerged from the co-operation of a German trailer builder with the American semi-trailer pioneer Fruehauf and built flatbed, platform and box trailers for long-haul transport. Type designations such as AA 18/7.2 TZL, PWS 20/12.4 E or VIS 20 13 6 EL combine letters for body and equipment variant with numbers for weight class and length, as was common among trailer builders of the post-war decades.

The register lists here 20 versions with unladen weights from 2,460 to 10,600 kg, gross weights from 8,000 to 32,000 kg, lengths from 8,650 to 12,750 mm and widths from 2,330 to 2,600 mm.
Trailers of this weight class ran in drawbar combinations behind tractor units or as volume and cargo trailers in general and furniture haulage, where they doubled the load capacity of a lorry body; competitors included Kögel, Krone and Schmitz Cargobull. The axles of these trailers follow the European standard dimension, with tandem axle sets and drum or disc brakes, and the drawbar eye follows the DIN standard, allowing the trailers to be combined with most tractor units.
On used examples, the condition of chassis and axles, drawbar eye and overrun brake, sideboards or curtain frame and a complete brake-test history count; parts for the older model years now come only through specialist trailer workshops.
