Akkerman Other models

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 680 to 1,040 kg, gross weights from 1,800 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 7,360 to 7,400 mm and widths from 2,380 to 2,550 mm.

With gross weights up to 3.5 tonnes, the trailers fall into vehicle class O2, and with lengths around 7.4 metres they are built as transport trailers for bulky loads, for example boats, machinery or agricultural equipment behind cars and light commercial vehicles. With an unladen weight under 1,100 kg against up to 3.5 tonnes gross, a sizeable payload reserve remains for the actual cargo despite the length.

Buying used, the overrun brake and its linkage, the condition of the chassis and load bed, axle bearings and tyres, and the function of the lighting system matter on light transport trailers; rust on the drawbar and jockey wheel is a warning sign on resale. On long, narrow trailers of this kind, it is also worth checking the chassis for distortion and flex under load.
