Aschersleben Kaross – other models: the collective page of heavy trailers outside the named ranges, from the DSA through the SPK to the ZAA series, 3,200 to 8,600 kg unladen weight, up to 42 t gross vehicle weight
This page gathers the Aschersleben Kaross trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The model names split into several code series – DOL, DSA, SPK, SPR and ZAA – some followed by a length suffix in metres, such as L11.6 on the SAL25 or L-13.6 on the SPK 22; these figures match the lengths recorded in the register for the respective models.

The register lists here 10 versions with unladen weights from 3,200 to 8,600 kg, gross vehicle weights from 18 to 42 t, lengths from 10,200 to 13,880 mm and widths from 2,550 to 2,600 mm.
With lengths up to 13.88 m and gross vehicle weights up to 42 t, these trailers sit in the heavy-haulage and long-distance segment of European freight, where the standard 13.6 m length for semi-trailers and swap bodies sets the frame. Trailers of this size are mostly bought by haulage firms and logistics operators, who look at payload, load volume and compatibility with their existing tractor units.
When buying a used heavy trailer of this class, check the frame and side rails for cracks and corrosion, the function of the air suspension and brake system, wear on the axle assemblies and tyres, the condition of the tow eye or fifth-wheel coupling, and the technical inspection sticker. It is also worth checking the underrun protection, landing legs and the wearing parts of the coupling.

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.
