The register lists 5 versions here with kerb weights from 530 to 2,750 kg and gross vehicle weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg. Widths range from 1,980 to 2,550 mm, a typical spread for this weight class between compact and wider bodies.

Trailers of this class are typical general-purpose trailers for trade, agriculture and leisure use, offered both unbraked up to 750 kg and braked up to 3.5 t, and can be towed under most car driving-licence categories, which puts them in use with both trade customers and private owners.

When buying used, check the condition of axles and brakes, rust on the chassis and drawbar, the function of the overrun brake, plus tyre tread and lights; it is also worth checking the welds at the drawbar mount, the load bed's carrying capacity, the condition of the side-panel latches, the function of the jockey wheel and the condition of the safety chains at the coupling, plus the condition of the seals, earthing and wiring around the rear lights.
