Hermans Other models

The register lists 3 versions here with kerb weights from 600 to 1,040 kg and gross vehicle weights from 1,900 to 3,500 kg. Widths range from 2,150 to 2,500 mm, a typical spread for specialised bodies of this kind between narrow and wide versions.

Such specialised trailers carry horses or cable reels and other equipment for electrical and civil engineering firms, complementing classic trade trailers with industry-specific bodies; the Variant 250 B model name points to a platform or general-purpose version.

When buying used, check the floor, ventilation and partitions on horse trailers, and the bearing and reel-mount condition on Haspelwagen units; in general, check axles, brakes, rust on the chassis and drawbar, and tyre tread, as well as the function of the nose-weight gauge, the safety chains at the coupling, and the condition of the side-panel locks and the sealing of the storage compartment lid; on older units also look for cracks around the drawbar mounting.
