SPINDELBERGER Other models

The register lists 14 versions here with kerb weights from 462 to 920 kg and gross vehicle weights from 900 to 1,600 kg. Lengths run from 8.97 to 10.68 m, widths from 1,750 to 2,120 mm – dimensions that fit long, narrow transport trailers for bulky loads.

Trailers of this length at a comparatively low weight suit bulky but light cargo; the model name aircraft transporter states the use directly, for example carrying gliders or light aircraft to the airfield. The Cobra range, with a similarly elongated, narrow build, serves a comparable need for specialised long-load transport for clubs and private owners.

When buying a long, narrow trailer of this kind used, the main checkpoints are the torsional stiffness of the chassis, the condition of the bearings and tyres, and the load straps and tie-down points. Corrosion on the side rails, the lighting working over the full length and, where an overrun brake is fitted, the condition of the brake cable and linings belong on the checklist, as does the completeness of the registration documents.
