Bottenberg – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, 2700 KG and PL-3000, 550 to 710 kg unladen weight, 2,700 to 2,800 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Bottenberg trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with such a small model programme this amounts to practically the whole recorded stock of the brand. The designations 2700 KG and PL-3000 each carry a weight figure in the name, with no shared range logic readable from them. As with many small trailer brands, the programme is drawn from registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical values.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 550 to 710 kg, gross weights from 2,700 to 2,800 kg and a width of 2,000 mm.
With unladen weights around 600 kg against gross weights up to 2.8 tonnes, both versions reach a high payload relative to their own weight and fall into the braked trailer class O2, as towed behind vans and stronger cars for transport tasks; the uniform width of 2 metres points to a shared frame platform for both versions.
On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, the state of lighting and plug, and tyres and rims all count; with a uniform width it is worth comparing both versions for details of the body build and fittings. Parts for such a small brand usually run through independent trailer workshops.
