Meels – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges VXT15-80R and VXT15-80R2, 1,000 kg unladen weight, 2,700 to 3,500 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Meels trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The two listed types carry the designations VXT15-80R and VXT15-80R2. As with many smaller trailer brands, the figures are drawn from registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical values.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights of 1,000 kg, gross weights of 2,700 to 3,500 kg, lengths of 4,300 to 4,350 mm and widths of 1,590 to 1,630 mm.
With gross weights of 2.7 to 3.5 tonnes, a comparatively narrow width under 1.7 metres and a compact length around 4.3 metres, both versions fall into the class of narrow, braked transport trailers, used for instance for machinery or small vehicles. For registration, besides the trailer's gross weight, the tow vehicle's rated towing capacity is also decisive.
On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, and the state of lighting, plug, tyres and rims all count. Parts for such a small brand usually run through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network; on the heavier version at 3.5 tonnes gross, the adjustment of the brake linkage is also worth a look. It is also worth comparing the VIN and the registration document against the trailer's data plate.
