With a kerb weight of 6,920 kg and a length of 13.53 m, the payload comes to 11,580 kg, a good three fifths of the gross weight. For a length of more than 13.5 m, an 18,500 kg gross weight is comparatively moderate, pointing to a design meant for bulky rather than extremely dense cargo. A 9.20 m wheelbase and 2.52 m width fit a long, two-axle build.
As an O4-class vehicle, the trailer needs an air brake system and is towed under a category CE licence. The combination of great length and moderate gross weight suits bulky, lighter goods such as agricultural equipment, building elements or unit loads needing more floor space than carrying capacity.
Buying a used trailer of this model year, the chassis and side rails deserve particular attention, since decades of use favour corrosion and material fatigue. It is also worth checking the air system for modern retrofits, the axle bearings and brakes, the coupling for wear, and whether the registration documents match the chassis and its identification plate, especially after this many years in service.

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.
