Schaub Other models

The register lists here 4 versions with unladen weights from 1,630 to 2,045 kg at a gross weight of 3,500 to 5,400 kg. Lengths range from 7,950 to 9,000 mm, widths from 2,300 to 2,350 mm.

With lengths of 8 to 9 metres and a gross weight of up to 5.4 tonnes, the Schaub trailers sit at the upper edge of the segment towable on a category B driving licence and, beyond that, in the light-to-medium class for commercial transport of bulky or long goods. The comparatively low unladen weight at this length points to a light-weight frame design.

When buying a used trailer of this length and payload, check above all the frame for sagging, the axles and braking system, and the drawbar for play and corrosion. The load bed and side panels should be checked for corrosion and wear, and tyres and lighting belong to the standard check. Spare parts for axles and brakes come through the general commercial-vehicle trade, and on the longer versions even tyre wear across both axles and the condition of the drawbar support leg are worth checking.
