Self-build (Omavalmiste) TITAN
5 models in this series
Omavalmiste TITAN – Finnish home-built trailers in the Traficom register: not a manufacturer but a type label for self-built trailers, 450 to 830 kg unladen weight, 3,500 kg gross weight
Omavalmiste is the Finnish word for home-built. In the Finnish vehicle register kept by Traficom it serves as a placeholder for trailers that were not series-produced by a manufacturer but designed and built individually by private owners or small workshops before being registered. TITAN is not a brand here but the type name the respective builders gave their construction; the vehicles come from different private builders rather than a single company. The versions listed here – TITAN 300 T / 3500, TITAN 3500 TL, TITAN 3500T, TITAN 3500TL and Titan 3500 T – share the same gross weight through the 3500 suffix and so the same registration class.

The register lists 5 versions with unladen weights from 450 to 830 kg at a gross weight of 3,500 kg, lengths from 4,370 to 6,580 mm and widths from 1,950 to 2,410 mm.
Home-built trailers of this class in Finland are mainly used for boats, machinery, building materials or larger loads for which a standard trailer from a manufacturer's range does not fit; the 3,500 kg gross weight is the upper limit up to which an ordinary car licence is sufficient for towing, which makes such builds attractive to private owners who want to tailor dimensions and body to their own load.
As there is no manufacturer with a parts catalogue or service book behind these trailers, buying a used Omavalmiste means relying mainly on one's own inspection: the condition of the frame and welds, the condition and load rating of the axle, the function of the brakes and any overrun brake system fitted, plus lighting and the coupling; since every build is a one-off, it is worth checking the Finnish registration papers against the actual construction and dimensions when taking one over.
