The register lists here 17 versions with unladen weights from 300 to 3,440 kg and gross weights from 1,000 to 8,990 kg. Length runs from 3,940 to 12,450 mm, width from 1,620 to 2,500 mm.

The mix of short trailers around 4 m and long versions of over 12 m, at a moderate gross weight of up to just under 9 tonnes, shows a broad field of use from car transport through construction-site trailers to livestock trailers.

Up to a gross weight of 3.5 tonnes in class O2, a mechanical overrun brake with a ball coupling suffices; above that limit, class O3 requires an air brake system and at least driving licence category C1E. On car-transport trailers such as the LAWETA, the permitted nose weight on the coupling and the load capacity of the ramps for the heaviest vehicle to be loaded also need attention.

On a used purchase, the condition of the chassis and load bed, drawbar and braking system, on car-transport trailers additionally the winch and ramps, and tyre condition all count; spare parts run through the open trailer-parts trade.
