The register lists here 4 versions with unladen weights from 580 to 1,800 kg, gross weights from 2,000 to 3,500 kg, a length of 5,070 mm and widths from 2,000 to 2,490 mm.

The span of gross weights runs from 2 tonnes to the 3.5-tonne limit of braked trailers, covering uses of quite different weight behind vans. The wide range of unladen weight, from 580 to 1,800 kilograms at comparable gross weights, points to very different bodies within the range, from light platforms to sturdier box constructions. On the heavier versions, axle spacing and frame construction also matter, since they must withstand regular loads close to the class limit.

On a used example, axle and brake condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, and the state of tyres and lighting all count. On the heavier versions with less payload margin, it is also worth checking for frame deformation and the condition of the suspension. It is also worth checking the condition of the coupling head and hitch on the drawbar. Parts for a brand of this size usually come through independent trailer workshops.
