SCHWEIKERT Other models

The register lists here 19 versions with unladen weights from 654 to 1,330 kg, gross weights from 850 to 1,500 kg and widths from 2,020 to 2,270 mm.

With widths over two metres combined with a comparatively moderate gross weight, the Schweikert trailers count among the wider units of class O2, used for bulky loads, machinery or larger livestock transport. The name Edelweis among the models points to the German-speaking market the range was designed for, and the weight spread from 850 to 1,500 kg shows several load-capacity steps within the same wide-bodied construction.

Buying used, given the wide bodies, check for frame twist and the condition of the side panels, plus the axle, brake and overrun coupling, and rust around the wheel arches, which take more strain on wide trailers. Also check the tightness of the load floor, the condition of the lighting and, depending on the build year, the frame's paint coating, since on trailers this size corrosion often shows first on the cross members and in the side-panel corners.
