Comet – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, the Comet-345 and Xtrailer, 1,450 to 5,480 kg unladen weight, 1,450 to 16,900 kg gross weight
This page gathers the trailers the register lists under the Comet brand without assigning them to a named range. The types Comet-345 and Xtrailer carry different naming schemes and differ widely in their values. 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 unladen weights from 1,450 to 5,480 kg, gross weights from 1,450 to 16,900 kg, lengths from 3,360 to 8,520 mm and widths from 1,800 to 2,540 mm.
The spread of gross weights from 1.45 to 16.9 tonnes runs from a small trailer still towable on an ordinary car driving licence to a medium-weight tandem-axle trailer behind a lorry. Lengths of 3.36 to 8.52 metres and widths of 1.8 to 2.54 metres show correspondingly different bodies, from a narrow small load bed to a wide platform or box trailer.
On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the brake system – on the lighter versions the overrun brake and its linkage, on the heavier ones the brake system with its lines –, rust on frame and drawbar, and the state of lighting, tyres and rims all count. Parts for such a small brand mostly run through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network. With such a diverse model programme, it is also worth comparing the data plate against the registration papers before buying.
