Harcon – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, Harcon and OW 15000 S, 4,800 to 5,230 kg unladen weight, 19,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Harcon trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with only two types in the register, this amounts to practically the whole recorded catalogue. The designations Harcon and OW 15000 S stand side by side; the number 15000 in the second type is lower than the actual gross weight of the recorded versions.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 4,800 to 5,230 kg, a gross weight of 19,000 kg, lengths from 8,600 to 9,300 mm and a width of 2,550 mm.
With a gross weight of 19,000 kg, both versions sit clearly in the heavy-duty trailer class, towed behind lorries for transport or construction goods. The width of 2,550 mm matches the permitted maximum width for commercial vehicles.
On a used example in this weight class, axle condition and load rating, the function and wear of the braking system, rust on frame and chassis rails, and the state of lighting and electrical plug all count. Tyres and rims must be rated for the respective axle load. Parts usually run through independent commercial-vehicle workshops. For operation behind the tractor unit, besides the trailer's rated gross weight the tractor's rated towing capacity is also decisive, since it sets the real limit in heavy-duty operation. Before buying, it is also worth checking the inspection and registration history to trace earlier repairs and the maintenance record.
