The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 485 to 2,730 kg and gross weights from 1,300 to 3,500 kg. Widths from 1,790 to 2,350 mm are recorded.

The programme covers throughout the class of car-towable trailers up to 3.5 t gross weight, from small single-axle trailers close to the brake-free threshold to models at the category B driving-licence limit. The closeness of the type designation to the gross weight helps buyers judge which model suits their own tow vehicle.

Buying used, check for rust on the frame and drawbar, the condition of axles, brakes and the overrun brake device, the condition of the platform or side panels, and tyres and lighting. Parts for axles, brakes and couplings run through the general trailer parts trade. A service book and inspection history give additional insight into maintenance condition and accident-free use. It is also worth checking the coupling head, safety chains and the electrical plug.
