Hofmann Mainleus – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, Motorsport Trailer and WMH85, 11,500 to 15,750 kg unladen weight, 29,000 to 33,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Hofmann Mainleus 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. The name itself carries Mainleus as the company's seat; listed are the types Motorsport Trailer and WMH85, the first name showing its purpose as a transporter for racing and competition vehicles. As with many makers of heavy special trailers, the programme is drawn from registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical values.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 11,500 to 15,750 kg, gross weights from 29,000 to 33,000 kg, lengths from 14,000 to 14,030 mm and widths from 2,520 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights of 29 to 33 tonnes and lengths around 14 metres, both versions count among the heavy semi-trailers towed behind tractor units in commercial long-haul transport and race-vehicle transport; a motorsport trailer typically also carries workshop or living space rather than plain load area, which can explain the high unladen weight relative to the gross weight.
On a used example, the condition of axle assemblies, brake linings and the brake system including air suspension, the state of the fifth-wheel plate and kingpin, rust on the frame, and on versions with an interior fit-out the electrics, water installation and the tightness of the body as well, all count. Parts for axles, brakes and air suspension usually run through the big system suppliers of the semi-trailer industry.
