Mack – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, the FW, Heinrich and PW types, unladen weights from 3,840 to 16,000 kg, gross weights from 4,000 to 18,000 kg
This page gathers the trailers carried under the name Mack that the register could not assign to a named range. The designations FW and PW and the single model Heinrich do not follow any logic that can be resolved from the register; the wide spread of dimensions, from a good five and a half to almost fifteen metres in length, shows that very different trailer types are grouped under this name, from a short trailer to a long semi-trailer chassis.

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 3,840 to 16,000 kg, gross weights from 4,000 to 18,000 kg, lengths from 5,750 to 14,950 mm and widths from 2,480 to 2,550 mm.
The spread runs from a light class-O2 trailer to a heavy chassis close to the 18-tonne limit for trailers without a special permit; the uses are correspondingly varied, from small commercial loads to the transport of heavy goods or machinery. Anyone considering one of these trailers should rely solely on the registration data of the individual vehicle regardless of the name, since there is no shared model history behind it.
Given this spread, on a used trailer the type and the actual gross weight of the individual example count first, then the condition of frame and axles, the function of the brakes and overrun coupling, the condition of the tyres and, on the long chassis, a thorough check of the frame for distortion and cracked welds. Matching the chassis number against the registration papers matters in particular given how mixed this group is.
