VAR Other models

The register lists here 19 versions with unladen weights from 460 to 1,740 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,200 to 2,800 kg and widths from 1,600 to 2,500 mm.

The weight span up to nearly 2.8 tonnes gross weight places the VAR trailers in the segment of mid-size working trailers, used behind vans and light commercial vehicles for carrying material and equipment.

When buying used, check the chassis and drawbar for rust and distortion, the axle and wheel bearings for play, the brake system for function and lining thickness, and the load floor and side panels for corrosion through. Spare parts for the axle, coupling and brake on VAR trailers, as with comparable smaller builders, come from the general trailer-accessories trade. It is also worth checking the tyres and rims for age, tread depth and load rating, the spare wheel or repair kit and on-board tools, and that the chassis number, type plate and vehicle documents all match.
