Proper washing and regular maintenance of your trailer do not require complicated procedures. The most important thing is to use suitable, mild cleaning products, avoid harsh chemicals and take care when using a pressure washer. 

It is also worth remembering that a clean caravan makes it easier to monitor its condition on an ongoing basis. Whilst washing it, you can spot any damage more quickly, as well as dirt requiring further cleaning or parts that need maintenance or inspection at a service centre.

In September 2024, a new standard came into force in Germany requiring car transporters to have additional type-approval in accordance with the VDI 2700 standard. All Wiola car transporters comply with the new requirements, based on tests carried out by the Motor Transport Institute.

Thanks to our state-of-the-art machinery, every component of the trailer is manufactured with precision and care. This process ranges from cutting components using a fibre-optic laser, through bending and forming on CNC machines, to welding carried out by Kawasaki welding robots.

GVW – Gross Vehicle Weight – A figure expressed in kilograms, indicating the maximum weight a vehicle may have, including its load.

Our container bodies belong to the Premium segment. We are one of the few manufacturers to use special aluminium profiles for the container frames, which are also anodised (to increase resistance to corrosion and abrasion). This significantly improves the rigidity of the entire structure whilst reducing its weight. All trailers are tested for watertightness and resistance to weather conditions, such as rain or snow.

Correct load distribution on a towed trailer has a significant impact on many aspects relating to both the trailer’s performance and driving comfort. The diagrams and guidelines below will show you how to use the trailer without subjecting it to excessive loads and the resulting damage to individual components.

Double-axle trailers have many advantages. One of them is greater load capacity and better distribution of the weight of the transported load. Contrary to popular belief, driving a double-axle trailer does not always require a B+E driving licence.

Single-axle trailers are very popular. They can be purchased at almost any DIY store, but they are usually very cheap and unreliable products that are not suitable for continuous use.

An undeniable advantage of tarpaulin-covered trailers is the ability to transport cargo that is taller than the standard side panels. Furthermore, they offer greater cargo space and the ability to protect the goods being transported from the elements (rain or snow).
We can fit a tarpaulin to virtually any car trailer. The tarpaulin is supported by a frame made of steel or aluminium profiles, making the entire structure rigid and resistant to gusts of wind. Boards can also be used as crossbars for the frame, facilitating loading from the side of the trailer.

Car transporters are trailers designed to transport vehicles: damaged ones, new ones that have not yet been registered, imported vehicles without a valid MOT in Poland, or even classic cars. They are usually 400 cm long and 200 cm wide. A car transporter falls into the heavy goods vehicle category – in order to carry a passenger car weighing 1,200–1,400 kg, its GVW (gross vehicle weight) must be at least 2,000 kg. It is worth remembering that the towing vehicle should have sufficient towing capacity.

Car trailers have many uses, but the most common are flatbed trailers with side panels, used for transporting goods. In this post, we’ll try to explain what types of trailers are available on the Polish market.
