Unitrans Other models

The register lists here 7 versions with unladen weights from 650 to 10,600 kg, gross weights from 2,000 to 39,000 kg, lengths from 6,400 to 14,020 mm and widths from 2,060 to 2,600 mm.

The span from 650 kg to over 10 tonnes unladen weight and up to 39 tonnes gross weight shows that the Unitrans name covers both light trailers and heavy semi-trailers for road freight transport. Such programmes running light and heavy ranges side by side are common among smaller, regional trailer makers.

On a used purchase, what matters on these trailers is the condition of frame and axles, corrosion on load-bearing parts, brakes and suspension, on the lighter types the ball coupling and jockey wheel, and on the heavy versions the kingpin and landing legs; spare parts are matched to model and build year. It is also worth checking the condition of the floor sheeting on older examples.
