Choose the right Gaupen trailer – size, payload, and area of use

A trailer must be suitable for your cargo, your car, and your driver's license. Before choosing a Gaupen model, determine what you actually need to transport, how much it weighs, and what interior dimensions you require.

Gross weight is not the same as payload

The permissible gross weight includes the trailer and the cargo. The payload is what you can load once the trailer's curb weight has been subtracted. Two trailers with the same gross weight can therefore have different payloads. Check the figures for the specific Gaupen model and take into account any additional equipment.

Check dimensions and cargo first

Measure the longest and widest pieces of cargo. Compare these measurements with the trailer's interior box dimensions, and consider loading height, ramp, tailgate, tipping mechanism, and tarpaulin as needed. For boats and machinery, the entire transport setup must be considered, not just one dimension.

Car and driver's license must match

The car's permissible towing weight, the trailer's weight, and your driver's license class determine what you are allowed to drive. Use the Norwegian Public Roads Administration's trailer calculator with your car and the intended trailer before purchasing.

Equipment for the right model

Tarpaulins, extension sides, jockey wheels, and other equipment must fit the dimensions and model. See Gaupen accessories and check the part number on the product page.
