The gross weight is 13,200 kg and the kerb weight is 5,500 kg, which leaves a payload of 7,700 kg. At a length of 14.25 m and a width of 2,550 mm, this single model's footprint takes shape. Added to that: the wheelbase is 7,950 mm and the running gear carries 4 wheels.
Trailers of this weight class belong to heavy and long-distance haulage, hauled behind tractor units or heavy truck combinations. The compressed-air brake system, with automatic load-sensing, adjusts braking force to the load carried, and the axles carry the high payload on suitably rated suspension. On the road, a valid periodic roadworthiness inspection is mandatory, as is working lighting, regardless of how old the chassis itself is.
Buying used, the brake system and air lines deserve close attention: brake chambers, the load-sensing valve and coupling heads should be tight and free of corrosion. Check the chassis for rust at cross-members and axle mounts, the axle bearings for play, and the suspension for cracks. Tyres, brake linings and the electrical connector to the towing vehicle round off the check, and on older examples the lashing points and the load floor as well. Checking any surviving service records alongside the condition of the brake drums or discs and the wheel bearings rounds off a thorough inspection before any purchase.

- 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.
