VAN DER SLUIS Other models

The register lists here 30 versions with unladen weights from 520 to 920 kg, gross weights from 1,285 to 3,000 kg and widths from 1,780 to 2,330 mm.

Trailers of this weight class are used by tradespeople, farmers and private owners behind cars and light commercial vehicles for haulage tasks up to just under three tonnes gross weight; the narrow span of unladen weights from 520 to 920 kg points to a fundamentally similar construction across the various recorded versions. Up to 3.5 tonnes combination gross weight, a BE driving licence is sufficient in most European countries.

When buying a used car trailer of this class, what counts is the condition of the frame, load bed and side boards, corrosion on load-bearing parts and axles, the function of the overrun brake and lighting, and the condition of the tyres; wear and spare parts are available through the general trailer trade. The condition of the coupling head, jockey wheel and safety chain also belong in the pre-purchase check. Tyre tread depth and age are also worth checking, since trailers of this class are often used only seasonally.
