Van Essen Other models

The register lists here 2 versions with an unladen weight of 2,500 kg, a gross weight of 3,500 kg, a length of 6,900 mm and a width of 2,400 mm.

With gross weights of up to 3,500 kg, the versions fall into the braked trailer class towed behind vans and stronger cars, a weight class typical of livestock trailers of this size and axle configuration. For registration behind a car, besides the trailer's gross weight the tow vehicle's rated towing capacity is also decisive, since it sets the real limit for the load towed.

On a used example, axle and wheel-bearing condition, the function of the overrun brake and its linkage, rust on frame and body fittings, lighting and plug, and tyres and rims all count. Parts for such small brands usually run through independent trailer workshops. On versions with an overrun brake, the adjustment of the brake linkage and the condition of the brake linings are also worth checking before the first drive.
