Kowa Holland MT
5 models in this series
Kowa Holland MT – light trailer series in the register: from the MT 450 to the MT 700, unladen weight 2.6 to 3.5 t, gross weight 3.5 t across all models
Kowa Holland was a Dutch manufacturer of light trailers. The MT series runs from the MT 450 to the MT 700; the type designations come from Dutch vehicle registration data (RDW). As a manufacturer of light trailers, Kowa Holland targeted tradesmen, farmers and private users looking for a simple transport trailer without elaborate special equipment. The consistent registration class across all MT models points to a deliberately narrow series tailored to one market segment.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 2,580 to 3,500 kg, a gross weight of 3,500 kg and widths from 2,300 to 2,450 mm.
With a gross weight of 3.5 tonnes shared by all models, the MT series belongs to the light O2 class, used by tradesmen, farmers and private users for transport trailers. In the light trailer segment, such a series competes with widespread brands like Humbaur, Böckmann and Saris, which shape today's market for private and small commercial trailers; used MT trailers are therefore found mainly regionally with smaller dealers.
Checks when buying used include the frame and load bed for rust, the condition of axle, brakes, tyres and overrun brake, and the lighting system; on the lighter models in the series it is also worth checking payload against unladen weight. It is also worth checking the coupling and safety chain for wear, along with the side panels and load-lashing points for stability, as these come under particular strain on frequently used trailers.
