1. Choose the right type of trailer for your load

Think about what you need to transport. Do you need an open box trailer for building materials or a closed trailer to protect your cargo from the weather? SARIS offers a wide range of trailers, from platform trailers and tippers to enclosed trailers and transporters.
Check out our full range of trailers.

2. Braked or unbraked: What suits your needs?

One of the first decisions you need to make is whether you require a braked or unbraked trailer.

Unbraked trailers: Suitable for lighter loads up to 750 kg (including the trailer’s own weight). Ideal for smaller tasks and easier to maintain.
Braked trailers: Required for heavier loads, as brakes provide extra safety and stability. Perfect for professional use or large transports.

3. Load weight, towing capacity, and driver’s license: What to check?

Check the maximum payload of the trailer and ensure it matches your vehicle’s towing capacity and your driving license.

Towing capacity: Refer to your car’s manual or registration documents to find out how much weight your vehicle can tow.
Driving license: With a B license, you can tow a trailer with a combined weight (car + trailer) of up to 3,500 kg. For heavier combinations, a BE license is required.

SARIS is happy to help you find the right model within legal limits. Learn more about the required licenses for different trailers.

4. Enhance your trailer with additional options

When purchasing a trailer, you can choose additional options to increase comfort and safety, such as:

Side panels for extra loading volume.
Loading ramps for easy loading of heavy objects.
Vinyl covers and nets to protect your cargo.
Tie-down straps for secure fastening.
Anti-theft locks for extra security.
Spare wheels and support legs for added convenience.
