BTD – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, the Trailerplus at 2,660 kg unladen weight, 3,500 kg gross weight, 5,940 mm length and 1,680 mm width
This page gathers the two trailers the register lists under the BTD brand without assigning them to a named range – with such a small model programme this amounts to practically the whole catalogue of the brand. The Trailerplus appears in the register once under the full brand name as BTD Trailerplus and once as Trailerplus, both with identical technical values. As with many smaller trailer brands, the figures are drawn from vehicle registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical values.

The register lists here 2 versions with an unladen weight of 2,660 kg, a gross weight of 3,500 kg, a length of 5,940 mm and a width of 1,680 mm.
At a gross weight of 3,500 kg, the Trailerplus sits at the threshold above which a car-and-trailer combination requires category BE or code 96 on the driving licence; the width of 1,680 mm points to a closed or side-walled body rather than a narrow single-axle load bed. Trailers of this weight class are mostly towed behind vans or stronger estate cars for commercial and private transport.
On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, and the state of lighting, plug, tyres and rims all count; on a closed body the tightness of roof and doors as well. Parts for such a small brand mostly run through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network.
