Barthau Other models

The register lists here 11 versions with unladen weights from 320 to 1,080 kg, gross weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 3,800 to 7,660 mm and widths from 1,600 to 2,550 mm.

Trailers of this size cover the whole field from the car trailer to the tandem-axle trailer for trades and farming and are towed on a car licence up to 3.5 tonnes, as long as towing vehicle and trailer together stay within the driver's entitlement. Trailers like these usually come from small, regional manufacturing firms that expanded their range in small steps over decades rather than pursuing a consistent model strategy.

On a used example in this class, the condition of the frame and side panels, the axles and brakes on the braked versions, the ball coupling and jockey wheel and corrosion on the lower frame parts matter most; parts run through the open trailer trade, and on older examples the electrical socket, the wiring and the data plate are all worth a close look too.
