At 12,000 mm long and 2,530 mm wide, the vehicle weighs 8,420 kg unladen, leaving 27,580 kg of payload. The wheelbase is around 8,200 mm, a little over two-thirds of the overall length, typical of a continuous multi-axle chassis of this size. That gives a payload share of around 77 percent of the gross weight.
Vehicles in this weight class have their own compressed-air braking system and are built for heavy, dense loads such as construction materials, metal parts or bulk goods. Towing one requires licence category CE, since the gross weight is far above 3.5 tonnes. Under EU rules, O3 and O4 trailers must carry retroreflective contour markings at the rear and along the sides.
When buying a heavy trailer of this size used, check the coupling heads and brake lines for leaks, the axle bearings for play and the frame for cracking. With a payload share of more than three-quarters, sustained overloading tends to show up first in the springs and tyre load capacity. After a test drive it is also worth checking that the wheel nuts are properly torqued and inspecting the tyre tread depth.

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.
