K13 trailer[edit]

The K13 trailer has a German manufactured BWP rubber torsion bar axle and brake system. Part Number S2504. Apparently this was made in the early 1980s, and unfortunately parts aren't available anymore. April 2010: The Brake Bowden cables and equaliser system were found to be completely rusted solid. Luckily the Bowden cables, known as the Non-Detacheable type (has a fitting with a square hole in the end) made for Knott brakes fit the BWP brake system. However, these might not be available for too many more years. If other brake parts are required, and can't be located secondhand the whole axle, brakes, hub (and possibly even the wheels) will have to be changed.

The Ka13 trailer is no longer roadworthy as of 2014.

Ka8 Trailer[edit]

Similar in construction to the Ka13 trailer. This trailer was refurbished in 2012 and is kept out of the weather in the back of the hangar.

General Purpose Trailer[edit]

The original Puchacz trailer was refurbished and refitted complete with a tarpaulin cover in 2014 so that it can be used for transporting both the Puchacz and the Ka13.
