Gofa – other semi-trailers: collective page of tank and silo semi-trailers outside the named ranges, with the DB, SSA and TSA codes for tank, silo and tipper versions, 20 to 80 tonnes gross weight
This page gathers Gofa semi-trailers that the register could not assign to a named range. The maker specialises in tank and silo semi-trailers for transporting liquids, gases and bulk goods such as cement, flour or plastic granulate. The type codes such as DB, SSA, TSA or CSA denote different tank and size versions, with the attached number rising, by the maker's logic, with the capacity and axle load of the given version.

The register lists here 72 versions with unladen weights from 4,140 to 26,100 kg, gross weights from 20,000 to 80,000 kg, lengths from 8,100 to 14,390 mm and widths from 2,440 to 2,750 mm.
Tank and silo semi-trailers of this size carry above all liquid and powdered bulk goods in European road haulage for construction, food and chemical industries; the high gross weights at the top of the range concern multi-axle special versions for heavy and abnormal-load transport.
When buying used, on tank and silo semi-trailers what matters most is the tightness and corrosion condition of the vessel, the condition of the loading and unloading fittings, the function of the compressed-air and emptying systems, and corrosion on the frame and axles; on versions for food or chemicals, valid cleaning and approval records as well. Spare parts for fittings and valves are usually only available through specialised tanker workshops.

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.
