A trailer is a non-motorized vehicle that is coupled to a truck. The entity formed by a truck and a trailer is called trailer truck.
Designed for freight transport, a trailer can have one or several axles to support the load. Road trailers, such as rigids, can have different bodyworks : flatbed, tipper, box… There are container trailers for combined transport and trailers made for a use other than freight transport: store, aerial platform, concrete mixer or caravan.
A trailer must be registered when its GVWR exceeds 500kg. When the GVWR of a trailer exceeds 3.5 tonnes, the regulations require a yearly MOT test.
The trailer we now know comes from the horse-drawn carriages. With the invention of tyres in 1887, and the first trucks with combustion engines, modern trailers kicked off during the first half of the 20th century.
