The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 580 to 700 kg, a gross weight of 2,000 kg, a length of 4,360 mm and widths from 1,680 to 1,950 mm.

With a uniform gross weight of 2 tonnes, all three versions fall into the braked trailer class towed behind vans and stronger cars. The gap of roughly 1.3 to 1.4 tonnes between unladen and gross weight gives a comparatively generous payload, typical of tipper, platform or equipment trailers, though the exact body style cannot be read from the figures alone.

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 tyres and lighting all count. Given the generous payload of these versions, it is also worth checking for frame deformation and the condition of springs and suspension, which see heavier use under regular full loads. Parts for a brand with such a small range usually come through independent trailer workshops.
