GERRITSEN CONSTRUCTIES – other models: the Dutch collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, with Kano and Kano 8-10, 380 to 450 kg unladen weight, 1,400 to 1,500 kg gross weight
This page gathers the GERRITSEN CONSTRUCTIES trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with only two listed types this amounts to practically the whole catalogue of the brand. The name element 'Constructies' is Dutch for constructions and points to a Dutch company. The models are Kano and Kano 8-10 – 'kano' is the Dutch word for canoe, so the range reads as boat or canoe trailers.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 380 to 450 kg, gross weights from 1,400 to 1,500 kg, a length of 5,050 mm and widths from 2,100 to 2,180 mm.
With gross weights up to 1.5 tonnes, both types fall into the braked trailer class up to 3.5 tonnes. The combination of a length of just over 5 metres and a comparatively low unladen weight of 380 to 450 kg fits an open, lightly built body for bulky but light loads such as boats or canoes. In the Netherlands, with its dense network of waterways and coastline, such a boat trailer is a common accessory for recreational boats.
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 lighting, plug, tyres and rims all count; on the boat-trailer version also the condition of keel rollers and brackets, and protection against corrosion from water contact. Parts for such a small brand usually come through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network.
