transportsläp

A transportsläp, also known as a transport trailer or utility trailer, is a type of unpowered vehicle designed to be towed behind a motor vehicle for the purpose of carrying goods or equipment. These trailers come in a wide variety of sizes, designs, and load capacities, catering to diverse needs ranging from domestic use to commercial hauling.

Common features of a transportsläp include a chassis, wheels, a drawbar for attachment to the towing vehicle, and a platform or body to hold the cargo. The platform can be open, enclosed, or specialized for particular items such as vehicles, machinery, or livestock. Brakes are often included, especially on larger or heavier trailers, for safety and control.

The primary function of a transportsläp is to increase the carrying capacity of a vehicle, allowing for the transportation of items that would not fit or be practical to carry within the towing vehicle itself. They are frequently used for moving furniture, construction materials, garden waste, recreational equipment, and for commercial deliveries. The ease of attachment and detachment, along with their versatility, makes them a popular choice for many individuals and businesses. Regulations regarding their use, such as licensing, registration, and required safety equipment, vary by region.
