The register lists here 33 versions with unladen weights from 220 to 980 kg and gross weights from 1,000 to 3,500 kg, and widths from 1,830 to 2,550 mm.

Trailers in this light class up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight run behind cars and light commercial vehicles; the fine stepping of the types lets buyers pick a matching version for different payloads between 220 and just under 1,000 kg unladen weight instead of settling for one coarsely stepped standard size, which suits tradespeople with a narrowly defined transport need.

On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake, rust on the frame, the condition of side panels, load bed and any tarpaulin, and a working lighting system all count; with the many closely stepped types it is worth checking the type-plate figures against the actual payload and looking for even tyre wear.
