POLDERMAN Other models

The register lists here 21 versions with unladen weights from 210 to 880 kg, gross weights from 930 to 2,000 kg and widths from 1,260 to 2,100 mm.

The Polderman collective page therefore spans the full width of class O2, from very light single-axle trailers to twin-axle versions close to two tonnes gross weight. As with many smaller Dutch trailer builders, the models served farmers and trades on the regional market, alongside versions for private transport of machinery and materials.

Buying used, given the wide weight spread, the first step is to establish what payload and axle count a given trailer is actually registered for, since on small series the plate and the actual fittings can diverge. Check the frame and chassis rails for rust, the condition of the axle and brake, the tightness of the side panels and floor, and the electrics; on the heavier twin-axle versions also check the overrun coupling and handbrake, plus the wear of the coupling head itself.
