SCHIPPER Other models

The register lists here 3 versions with unladen weights from 570 to 1,490 kg, gross weights from 2,000 to 2,800 kg and widths from 2,200 to 2,520 mm.

With gross weights between 2 and 2.8 tonnes, all versions fall into the braked trailer class towed behind vans and stronger cars. The spread of unladen weights points to different bodies, from lighter open platforms to heavier closed or side-walled versions. For registration behind a car, besides the trailer's gross weight the tow vehicle's rated towing capacity is also decisive, since it sets the real limit for the load towed.

On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame and drawbar, the state of lighting and plug, and tyres and rims all count. Parts for such small brands usually run through independent trailer workshops rather than a maker's own network. On versions with an overrun brake, the adjustment of the brake linkage and the condition of the brake linings are also worth checking before the first drive.
