The register lists 5 versions here with unladen weights from 600 to 2,160 kg, gross weights from 1,600 to 3,000 kg and widths from 1,780 to 2,390 mm.

With gross weights of 1.6 to 3 tonnes, the range covers a wide span from light to heavier braked trailers, towed behind vans and stronger cars; the width span of 1.78 to 2.39 metres fits bodies of varying size within the same range. For registration behind a car, besides the trailer's own gross weight, the towing vehicle's permitted towing capacity is also decisive, since that sets the real limit for the load carried.

When buying used, the main points are the condition of the axle and wheel bearings, the operation of the overrun brake and linkage, corrosion on the frame and drawbar, and the condition of the lights, connector, tyres and wheels. Parts for such small brands usually come through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network. The coupling head and jockey wheel are also worth checking at inspection.
