Favorit TL 29 – three-axle O4-class trailer built in 2018: 34,000 kg gross weight, 26,510 kg payload, 9.10 m length, 6.50 m wheelbase.
With a gross weight of 34,000 kg, the Favorit TL 29 sits well within EU trailer class O4, at the upper end of the heavy trailers. The body rests on three axles with six wheels in total, a layout that at this weight class keeps axle load within limits the road and tyres can tolerate.

With an unladen weight of 7,490 kg, payload comes to 26,510 kg, more than three-quarters of the gross weight. At 9.10 m long, 2.55 m wide and with a 6.50 m wheelbase, the Favorit TL 29 is comparatively compact for its weight class, which points to a concentrated, heavy load rather than voluminous bulk cargo.
As a three-axle O4 trailer, the TL 29 runs on air brakes and typically on air suspension on at least one axle, as is common on heavy semi-trailers and trailers to protect the chassis and cargo. Towing it as a combination in the EU requires licence category CE, depending on combined train weight.
When buying a used three-axle heavy-load trailer, check axle load distribution when loaded, check the air suspension bellows for cracks and leaks, check the brake drums or discs for even wear across all three axles, and check the frame around the centre axle for fatigue cracking from the concentrated load. It is also worth checking the tow hitch and the parking-brake mechanism for smooth operation, given the heavy use typical of this weight class.

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.
