Schaefer Other models

The register lists here 11 versions with unladen weights from 640 to 3,880 kg, gross weights from 800 to 8,900 kg, lengths from 5,990 to 9,430 mm and widths from 1,730 to 2,500 mm.

With gross weights from under a tonne to almost 9 tonnes, the programme covers both light trailers for trades and agriculture and heavier versions such as the tanker trailer for liquid goods, of the kind needed in farming and commerce. On tanker trailers, the recurring inspections under dangerous-goods or water-protection rules also apply, on the lighter types the regular roadworthiness test.

On used trailers, the lighter types call for checking the axle, braking system and overrun device, the tanker additionally the tightness of the tank, fittings and lines and their inspection intervals, and all of them the frame and load floor for rust and wear; parts run through the trailer trade.
