ELSTNER Other models

The register lists here 10 versions with unladen weights from 260 to 600 kg, gross weights of 1,000 to 3,000 kg and widths of 1,980 to 2,350 mm; a length of 7,520 mm rounds out the picture.

With gross weights up to three tonnes, low unladen weights at the same time and a length of over seven metres, at least part of the programme sits in the area of long, light haulage trailers, such as those used for boats or long loads. For registration, besides the trailer's gross weight the tow vehicle's rated towing capacity is always decisive as well.

On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, the state of lighting and plug, and tyres and rims all count; on the long version the torsional stiffness of the frame as well. Since the MB and MBT types sit close together technically, it is worth matching the exact designation on the data plate; parts run through independent trailer workshops.
