Eta – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, tandem- and tridem-axle trailers with gross weights from 19,000 to 31,000 kg, unladen weights from 5,120 to 7,120 kg, lengths up to 9,100 mm
This page gathers the Eta trailers the register could not assign to a named range. Model names such as R.A. 1900, R3ED or SR MER D stand for a range of heavy trailers that, with gross weights up to 31,000 kg and lengths around 9 metres, already approach semi-trailer dimensions. The digits in designations such as R.A. 1900 often give the construction size or the year of the type.

The register lists here 5 versions with unladen weights from 5,120 to 7,120 kg, gross weights from 19,000 to 31,000 kg, lengths from 8,130 to 9,100 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,550 mm.
With gross weights from 19 to 31 tonnes, the Eta trailers sit in the upper range of class O4 and thus in the heavy road-freight segment, where they run as centre-axle or tandem-axle trailers behind matching truck tractors.
On these heavy used trailers, the condition of the frame and axle units, the brake system and overrun brake, the tightness of the suspension and rust on the side members and load bed all count; axles and brake components on trailers of this class usually come from specialist suppliers and are available independent of the manufacturer. Tyres and lighting also belong to the checklist on these heavy trailers. The condition of the type plate and vehicle papers should also be checked. Photographs from a previous inspection can help spot repainted areas.

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.
