This page collects the Berco trailers that the register does not assign to any named series. Two types are listed: BERCO SKÅP and SKÅP. Both stand in the register as separate entries, and the designations themselves give no indication of a series logic.

The register lists 2 versions here with an unladen weight of 2,262 kg each, a gross weight of 3,500 kg each, a length of 6,250 mm and a width of 2,300 mm.
With a gross weight of 3,500 kg, this trailer sits at the upper limit of EU trailer category O2, which begins at 750 kg and requires an overrun brake throughout. Towing only needs licence category B as long as the combination's gross weight stays below 3,500 kg, otherwise category BE becomes necessary; on an enclosed box body of this size, the centre of gravity also sits higher than on an open deck, calling for more care through bends.
With a gross weight of 3.5 tonnes, these trailers fall into the class that can still be towed on a category B or BE licence; at an unladen weight of over 2.2 tonnes and a width of 2.3 metres, they are compact but solidly built enclosed bodies.
When buying used, check the condition of the axle and wheel bearings, the operation of the overrun brake and brake linkage, rust on the chassis and drawbar, and the condition of lighting and the electrical connector as well as tyres and wheels; on enclosed bodies also check the roof and door seals. Spare parts for such small makes usually come through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network.
