The register lists 5 versions with kerb weights from 10,820 to 12,100 kg, gross weights from 48,500 to 55,000 kg, lengths from 12,200 to 13,200 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm – typical figures for four- to five-axle cassette semi-trailers in heavy haulage.
Cassette semi-trailers of this type carry steel, machinery and other heavy goods and are mainly used in Finland and Scandinavia, where Alakaari is one of the established heavy semi-trailer builders. The automatic axle cassette allows the load to be spread evenly across several axles.
When buying used, check the condition of the galvanised frame, the operation of the axle cassette and the air or leaf suspension, the brakes and tyres, and the registration documents for the high gross weight. Parts for axles, suspension and brakes are supplied by the manufacturer and the Scandinavian commercial-vehicle trade.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
