About this plate
One SKAT type covers påhængsvogne, sættevogne and påhængsredskaber (caravans included) on a four-digit yellow plate. Registration is not universal: § 3, stk. 1, nr. 6 catches a non-caravan påhængsredskab only where "påhængsredskabets konstruktion gør det muligt at trække det med en højere hastighed end 30 km/t". Before 6 June 2012 trailers were split across two blocks by kind; the decode file records that, tiered.
