The register lists here 28 versions with unladen weights from 280 to 2,775 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,200 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,570 to 2,360 mm.

The span from 1.2 to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight sits in the classic range of car trailers for garden, building and leisure use, from light single-axle units to braked tandem trailers for boats or machinery. The consistent letter-and-number naming scheme points to a systematically maintained range within a compact line-up. Within this span, unbraked trailers below 750 kg give way to braked versions with an overrun brake above that limit, which ties the choice of model directly to the matching driving-licence category.

When buying used, check the frame and load floor for rust, the condition of the tow eye and jockey wheel, the function of the overrun brake with its cables, and the seal on the lighting; on the heavier tandem units, also check the axle bearings, suspension and the frame welds at the axle mounts. As the model names carry no year of manufacture, it is worth matching the chassis number to the registration papers. On these multi-purpose trailers, the condition of the side panels and fittings such as toolboxes or ramps also belongs to the inspection.
