BEACON Other models

The register lists 10 versions here with kerb weights from 1,060 to 1,680 kg and gross vehicle weights from 1,300 to 2,000 kg. Widths range from 1,800 to 2,350 mm.

With twin-wheel and twin-axle variants alongside the simpler Compact versions, the range covers different requirements for stability and payload within the same weight class. The Compact versions suit occasional private hauling, while the Twin variants suit more frequent, heavier loads in commercial use.

When buying a used trailer of this kind, the condition of the axle and overrun brake, and on twin-wheel and Twin versions also the condition of both wheel sets, along with rust on the chassis and drawbar, deserve attention. On versions with an electric brake, the wiring to the tow vehicle and the condition of the plug, socket and brake relay also belong on the checklist, along with the tightness of both hub nuts on twin-wheel versions. Spare parts for the brake, axle and lighting are available through the general trailer parts trade, as are the jockey wheel and coupling head.
