Franklin – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, with 37 M and ST 4500, 2 to 5.3 t gross weight, 2.24 to 2.58 m width
This page gathers the Franklin trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with such a small model programme this amounts to practically the whole catalogue of the brand. It lists the versions 37 M and ST 4500. The values come from registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical figures.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 380 to 5,050 kg, gross weights from 2,000 to 5,300 kg, a length of 12,920 mm and widths from 2,240 to 2,580 mm.
The unladen-weight range of 380 to 5,050 kg against gross weights of 2 to 5.3 tonnes shows two very different versions: a light one with a large payload reserve, and a considerably heavier one with a correspondingly smaller reserve. The recorded length of almost 13 metres points to an elongated build, of the kind used for long loads or special bodies.
On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the brake system and linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, the state of lighting and plug, and tyres and rims all count. Parts for such small brands mostly come through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network. On inspection, it is also worth checking the data plate and the condition of the coupling itself, as both give clues to how the trailer was used and maintained. The condition of the support leg and coupling head also belongs to a thorough check before buying.
