Alco OPL – tandem-axle tipper trailer range, from OPL 25 to OPL 5700 and S 70EL, 1,680 to 6,840 kg unladen weight, 3,500 to 25,000 kg gross weight
The Alco OPL range comprises tandem-axle tipper trailers in several size steps, from the smallest OPL 25 to the largest versions, the OPL 5700 and the S 70EL. The suffixes E, EL, T and TL in the type designations distinguish different equipment and brake variants within the range, while the FW 28 stands as a separate model alongside the numbered main line.

The register lists here 15 versions with unladen weights from 1,680 to 6,840 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 25,000 kg, lengths from 5,950 to 11,380 mm and widths from 2,200 to 2,500 mm.
Trailers of this class are towed behind tractors and lorries for earth, bulk material and building supplies; the span from 3.5 to 25 tonnes gross weight runs from the agricultural tipper trailer to the road-registered tandem-axle dump trailer for construction traffic. The heavier versions are towed by lorries or tractors with the appropriate towing entitlement, while the lighter models still fall within the BE licence range.
When buying a used tipper trailer, what counts is the condition of the tipping ram and hydraulic lines, corrosion on the body and frame, the function of the side boards and latches, and the condition of axles, brakes and tyres; wear and spare parts for the hydraulics and braking system are available through the general trailer and agricultural machinery trade. The load capacity of the support jack and the condition of the coupling head and safety chain also belong in the pre-purchase check.

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.
