Box trailer 500 L
The professional transport trailer
With this aluminum box, which was specially manufactured for us, it is now possible for the first time to transport three Euroboxes in a row in a rainproof and lockable manner. But this Hinterher is also Hinterher for the "last mile" in goods logistics, for craftsmen who need a lot of space, or for information or sales stands. The optional webbing loops on the box lid offer even more options for lashing things down or quickly stowing them under the elastic band.
With the optional lowerable support wheel at the front and support at the rear, the trailer is extremely easy to maneuver and can be used as a work table.
UPS has been using this trailer successfully and efficiently for years for parcel delivery in city centers.

Tested under the toughest conditions
A fleet of Hinterher has been in daily use by UPS in Munich since 2017. This has allowed the trailer components to be tested under extreme conditions and continuously improved. Years of fine-tuning have resulted in a sophisticated and extremely reliable transport system. The chassis, drawbar, and coupling system can withstand the toughest conditions while requiring minimal maintenance. Thanks to the modular design, components can be easily replaced in the rare event of a defect, often within a few seconds.
Suspension
You can configure your Hinterher with our high-end suspension system. It stands in a class of its own and is far superior to the low-quality suspension systems found on most other trailers.
Enormous suspension travel for the worst roads
Hydraulic damping for smooth driving
Adjustable weight ranges
Overrun brake
Every Hinterher trailer can optionally be equipped with an inertia (overrun) brake. This independent braking system automatically slows the trailer as soon as you apply the bicycle’s brakes. Especially when carrying heavy loads on a regular basis—whether for private or commercial use—the overrun brake provides a significant increase in safety and control.
Can also be maneuvered on foot
Our box trailers can also be easily moved without a bicycle if necessary. With a lowerable support wheel, the box trailer is self-supporting and can be maneuvered extremely well in confined spaces.

If something breaks
Every one of our bicycle trailers is designed to be extremely easy to repair should a component ever become damaged or worn. All parts are easily accessible and can be replaced using basic tools. Every single component—even the industrial bearings in the wheel hub—is available individually from us.
"The Hinterher is so full of clever ideas and solutions. You don't know which one to be most excited about."

Award-winning
We have received numerous awards for our innovative bike trailers and our sustainable business and production methods. Our bike trailers have also frequently undergone tests in the bicycle press. You can read press reviews here.
Regional manufacturing, sustainable business practices
Almost all components of the Hinterher are manufactured in our immediate vicinity. Only a small number of parts are sourced from Northern Italy and Sweden. Short supply routes, high environmental and social standards, local value creation, and outstanding technical expertise define our manufacturing approach.
Each Hinterher is assembled by our team in the west of Munich according to customer specifications. For shipping, we reuse cardboard and process it with our “green monster” into protective packing material. For us, true sustainability means building products that are made to last—and that can be repaired when needed.
FAQs
-
The Hinterher is very easy to pull. You will notice it most when starting off, but otherwise our bike trailers behave very neutrally. This is due to the low mounting of our trailers on the bike, which means that the riding dynamics are hardly affected.
Even when loaded, a Hinterher is easy to ride. Compared to cargo bikes in particular, even inexperienced cyclists find it easier to handle a trailer.
Please note that the same rules apply to riding with a trailer as to driving a car: ride carefully and adapt to the conditions! Carefully test the handling characteristics of your trailer in different scenarios to get a feel for its capabilities, but also its limitations. -
You only need to attach a Weber hitch to your bike's rear wheel axle once, or together with your bike's kickstand. The hitch then remains permanently on the bike. This allows the trailer to be connected to the bike with a 'click' in just a few seconds, anytime.
We use the high-quality Weber hitch 'Made in Germany,' which has been the gold standard in the cycling industry for many years and is designed to be extremely robust.
-
The good news: We can install a high-quality Weber hitch on almost any bike. Generally, there are two places where the hitch can be installed on the bike: on the rear wheel axle or together with the bike's kickstand, if it meets the requirements.
We are happy to advise you on choosing the right hitch. Please send us a photo of your rear wheel (taken from the left side in the direction of travel).
If you would like to check for yourself which Weber hitch might fit, you can look it up in our coupling guide (PDF) here.
